All of the above. I change my posture frequently so I don't become stiff. I slouch with a rounded back and my hands down by the stem and very bent elbows for a while, then I'll change to fully straight back and hands on the grips, then I'll do the lean forward thing with my hands in front of the grips for a while. I change for hills, for wind, for traffic, for speed, etc. Just experiment.
