Road drops + brake hoods, or just road drops? Pursuit bars are ok IMO, but for me, the downward slopes aren't usable as a hand position, so I'm left with two hand positions. Had to flip my stem to make the pursuit bars comfy for more than a half hour or so in the saddle... Road drops with hoods offer the most versatile option IMO.

As for gearing, go with what feels good.
