I'm trying to pick a bar before choosing shifters/levers; I'm hoping to use either integrated levers or thumbies.

Let me try to re-explain what I'm looking for. From the back (looking with your nose on the seat) it would look like a Salsa Woodchipper or a Nitto Dirt Drop; note the hand position on the drops and tails--the index finger knuckles are closer together (from one hand to the other) than the pinky knuckles. I want that same hand configuration on the flats and hoods--so I want the hoods to slope back a bit, and the hoods to get closer together as they go forward, not farther apart like the flared bars mentioned above. From the top, with the front of the bike toward the ceiling (think a bike hanging vertically, front wheel up) I want something that looks like the bottom of a star, not like a W; the tips should lean in, not out.

The h-bar/crazy bar looks somewhat promising.
