Back when I bought my first flat-bar mountain bike, I found that my hands were going numb after only 15-20 minutes on the bike.

You might take a look at bars like the On One Fleegel or Mary, or Misfit Psycles' NUbar or FUbar. I ended up using Bontrager's 17-degree "Big Sweep" bars; sadly, I think the Bontrager's are no longer available.
