Personal Choice.. then if you obsess , there are a big variety of bend shapes
and widths to pick amongst. if the bike comes built up with drop bars .
part of that may be resolved.
my touring drop bar bike has a Randonneur bend, from the center
there is an up and back angle, the ramp flat and long,
and the drop bend angles outward, and result is the lower
position is wider so no wrist contact with the upper ..
more recent bike buy has a grip shifter, then Trekking bars are perfect..
up and down is replaced by near and far, and the forward reach
gives the same torso lowering body position change.
