As a starting point, I go for KOPS to set the saddle's fore-aft position and then select a stem which lets me just touch the top (horizontal) portion of a drop handlebar when my elbow is against the nose of the saddle. Your mileage may vary!
I have one of those rare classic Ambrosio adjustable-reach stems on my Capo Sieger project bike. When I get it into riding condition it will be interesting to experiment a bit with the reach, although I suspect I'll end up in about the same position as always.
