I like SRAM x4 or better trigger shifters on a flat bar. Shimano Deore or better if you like shimano. I would look for at least an 8 speed but a 9 or 10 is a bonus. If you find a road bike I would look for shimano 105 or better or SRAM Apex/Rival or better. The better the shifters the better off you are. The shifters cost more to replace than derailleurs or Cassettes.
