Another good option is bullhorn bars. I had drops for a while but switched over to bullhorns just to give it a try and love them for commuting. Still get a comfy riding position like riding on the top of drop bars but the extended part of the bar makes climbing out of the saddle much easier (There are a few kinda big hills on my commute and it always sucked climbing in drop bars without hoods.) I miss the drop bars ability to get me low, but you can stretch out on bullhorns and get lower too.
