But I think you hit the nail on the head in your comments: ride what's comfortable for you and what keeps you riding.
The bar's a Mavic model 350. It has more of a "criterium" bend to it where the bars drop quickly (but not as much as track bars) after just a little bit of a flat portion right next to the stem. I think it actually has a deeper drop than the Mavic Model 351 SSC bars. I ride mostly on the hoods and the drops and only go to the top to stretch out once in a while.
