What is it that you look for...
In a handlebar.
Is it weight?
Is it in the upsweep/rise/backsweep?
Is it in the width?
Or a mix in all three?
Discuss...
For me, my biggest factors is with the rise and width of the bars. 2" rise and 720mm wide, any lower and wider and I can feel discomfort in my shoulders.

Shape, absolutely. Most bars come long so you can trim them, and I can adjust height via. stem. They gotta have just the right amount of sweep back...

Rise and width and then weight which is the least important.

Backsweep/upsweep, then width and rise. Weight is non-factor when you're talking a few ounces. Renthal, fortunately, covers it all and includes bling quotient.
