I have used a 12cm for Albatross bars and a 9cm with a 105 degree rise for noodles on the same bike with a 58cm top tube. I have mustache bars with a 10cm dirtdrop but on a bike with a 57 cm top tube. My Simple One has a 9cm seven shaped nitto stem all the way up to the mark with Nitto Rando bars and a 58cm top tube. I purposely mounted my albatross bars upside down making the grips level with the saddle but it still put me too upright and the front end felt squirrely so I went back to noodles. If my memory is correct a 3-4 cm longer is good for Albatross bars and maybe a 2-3 cm shorter for mustache's..... although you want them way taller so the curve is above saddle height and the normal grip at least level with the saddle.
