I have a nervous need to be able to see behind me- it sounds like you need a good mirror. Since most of my bikes have non-aero levers, the old style Mirrycle mirror is perfect, it puts the mirror right where I need it to glance.

However, with your bike- and I'm unfamiliar with the body positioning being that aggressive- you'd need a mirror that would either clamp on the bars, or onto the brifter somehow. I have an Axiom clamp-on mirror on the one bike I have with aero levers-

Axiom FastFlash DLX Mirror - Outside Outfitters




And on my bike:
