I'll second the Nitto Randonneurs. I also find that the flare of the bars makes riding on the hoods more comfortable, too, and it's easier to brake from the hoods with the brake levers angled out slightly.

Another flared bar that is even shallower and wider is the Salsa Woodchipper, a drop bar designed for off-road riding.
