This is a very personal thing....but I found flat bars killed my wrists with a 5 mile each way commute. I ended up going to english 3 spd type bars.......
sort of like this http://www.jensonusa.com/store/produ...Handlebar.aspx

but instead of cheap bar ends, get ergonomic bar ends.

I really liked the cane creek ergo (used before I went to the 3 spd style bars)
