i feel like calling them "drops" is kinda mis-leading as there are so many differently shaped drops these days. track drops, road drops, compact drops, gum drops, rando drops, etc. Just go ride your bike. it takes like 2 minutes? to switch out your bars if threadless, so just try different stuff.

Bigger question is truly what is the best bar in each sub-category; for instance:

Best Bullhorn: Nitto rb-002

best drop: fsa wing pro w/ hoods and levers (no brakes on bike though)

best riser: anything 32-36cm wide with some OURY's works for me.
Personally I'm not a fan of the bend on the fsa bars.
