I am a big fan of bullhorn bars. You have the upright position up close, and you can put your controls on the end of the bullhorns. I opted for a front brake on one and a bar end shifter on the other. Or you can put two brake levers and have downtube shifters.

I like this arrangement better than flatbars with bar ends because on flatbars, the relaxed position has access to the controls, not the leaned over position. When I'm leaned over that means I'm going faster, and that's when I want quick access to the brakes.

The advantage bullhorns have over regular road bars to me is that the position I spend 90% of my time in, on the hoods, does not have a good grip on the bars - I cannot wrap my hands around as as securely as I can with bullhorns in the same posture, if that makes sense. On roadbars my hands are ON the drops; on bullhorns my hands are AROUND the bars. I've got scars all over my body from getting bounced off the hoods once.

EDIT: picture worth a thousand words.
