Track bars?

So track season is starting up soon and I am trying to finish up my bike. I know you all over on this forum and it seems like many of the track racers hang here too, so...

There are 3 bars I am thinking about. 1 is the cinelli pista alloy bars (they have a wider top, will this create problems on the track), 2 is the deda pista alloy bars (was told these are of better quality than the cinelli's) 3 is the cinelli pista chromo bars. I am a big guy, 250lbs, and have read about flex in the alloy bars. I was wondering what your views on these bars are? I can get the deda and cinelli alloys pretty cheap, the chromo cinelli's I can not. While price isnt the biggest concern, If I can save some cash I would like to... So given these bars what would you get? And if you happen to have and other suggestions please add them...

Also on a side note, these bars will see a tad of street use since I'll be riding to the track...
