FWIW, I commute and two of my bikes have drop bars, and on both I fitted interrupter brakes on the uppers. They're like the dual-lever brakes that used to come on 10-speeds, but with interrupters, the linkage is the cable so they can be positioned independently of where the main brake levers are mounted. Drops, flats, trek bars, ape-hangers? Ultimately it comes down to what works for you.
