I don't have enough experience of different bars to recommend anything specific. I'd say choose an inexpensive compact drop with small to moderate reach & drop (should probaly be able to get one for around $20 or so) and ride it for couple of hundred miles. After this you'll have a better idea of what you want.
Road drop makes much more sense when you add 2 brake levers so you'll have the proper 'on the hoods' riding position available. I spend easily 80% of my riding time in that position.
