I ride year round in Portland and the brakes on my old bike make me nervous on cold wet winter days in traffic...

I have the frame, headset, and fork so far. Next up I'm looking at handlebars. My current set are 44cm, but I'm thinking about going to 46 or even 48. I'm 6'4", 220lb, with moderately broad shoulders for my height. I prioritize comfort over aerodynamics and was seeking feedback on others who may have gone with a broader handlebar width? Did you like it, would you do it again, etc.

Thanks in advance.

ETA: I looked closer, and my current set is 46 (not 44 as noted above).
