If I could make a recommendation on this front, I would recommend the Nitto Noodle bar, model 177. It's very snazzy looking, and it has HUUUUUUUGE ramp (the part that, on bikes with hooded brakes, sits behind the hood.) They're the most comfy I've found. And you can get them in 41, 44, 46 and 48cm. I like 44, and that just happens to be my chest size, so that may be a good metric to aim for.

That's the one I was talking about. =)
Rando bar flairs out at the bar end. It's not a regular straight up/down drop. Because of this, when you drop, it's more stable. It's also a bit more comfortable than regular drop bar. I have a 46cm.
I've bought a Easton carbon bar, and a Nitto's noodle.
Carbon bar is interesting. As it's less heat conductive than alu., it's more comfy in winter. This is not on my commute bike but I use the bike for commute once in a while.
Nitto noodle, I just put it on, and it's compact (means short reach / short drop). This is also good for commute.
If you are going to use the stem adpater, Velo Orange's adapter is highly recommended. I just bought another (to go with Nitto bar.).
