No need to get a matching Easton stem, anything with the right clamps sizes (31.8 for those bars, and, i'm guessing, 1 1/8 for the steerer) will work. If you're not sure of the angle go for something cheap. Nashbar and Pricepoint both have their own brand of stems that I've had good luck with, and are reasonably priced. Or, check around for stuff on clearance, you can usually find stems for cheap. Also, as long as the clamp sizes are right, don't worry about road or MTB, they'll work the same.
Hope that helps,
