Bar options for touring

i'm trying to decide on a bike for a 400 mi tour. I have two to choose from. One is a traditional road bike, jamis ventura and the other an old dutch bike.

The jamis has drop bars and the dutch has old style touring type where i can pretty much be sitting upright with one hand on the bar.

If i am doing 50mi a day i cant be hunched over for 6 hours. So my question for everyone is, what are the handlebar options for touring? What i would like is something that i can sit more erect, but have the option of leaning over a bit.

Any suggestions?
