to the OP: if you'll be doing a lot of your long-distance riding solo, then it's up to you. but if you'll be doing group rides, don't use aero bars. they don't handle as well and you can't reach the brakes while you're aero. also, to second what merlin said, it's pretty unlikely that you can set up the bike to be comfortable both on the drop bars and on the aero bars.

and as for your "issue," that's not really surprising. it's partly why there are saddles specifically designed for tris/TTs. you could try a different saddle, or try tilting your saddle forward a little or something...but again, that may not be as comfortable when you're not in the aero bars.
