Butterfly/trekking handlebars, brakes and shifter configuration. What say you?

Hello touring folks.

I'm setting up a couple of bikes for long distance loaded touring.

Both bikes have been equipped with butterfly/trekking bars. The next question is setup.

I know alot depends on reach distance, preferences, etc. etc., but what is YOUR preferred configuration for shifters and brakes on your tourer and why?



or



or some other option?

Also on long distance touring is it beneficial to have a highly adjustable stem (both height and angle), or once you dial it in, is one configuration typically good enough?

Thanks for your input.

Ride on!!
