Bikes: A touring bike and a hybrid

Gear Question: Drop bar commuters

Drop bar commuters:

Which bar do you use?

Why?

Classic bend, ergo, compact, what have you? The only drop bar I have experience with is a vintage classic bend, 120mm reach 140mm drop. I’ve used it on 3 consecutive commuter bikes including my current hybrid drop conversion. It works OK and I wouldn’t describe it as uncomfortable but a bar with a little less “aggressive” reach and drop might be nice, I dunno?
Maybe there are some characteristics specific to commuting that might dictate a different drop bar choice than for, say, sporty group rides or touring or something else? That’s why I’m asking here.
