Try them. If she's comfortable and likes to ride the bike, it's all good. If she complains about something, change it.
Mustache bars are tricky. A lot of people don't like them. The trick is to find the perfect setup that puts the rider into exactly the position they like. A drop bar offers a variety of riding positions and among those the rider can usually find a position that's comfortable; the mustache bar is much more limited, and this makes it harder for the rider to adjust his/her position to suit.
