I've got the Ergon grips with the bar ends and they're great! I also wear a pair of Specialized BG gloves, these aren't the gel version but they do have padding over the area of the heel of your hand and the pads just behind your fingers. They don't have any padding in the area where the nerves run through your hands. With the grips and the gloves I have completely eliminated numbness in my hands, so I can highly recommend this setup.
