I wouldn't buy cheap carbon stuff that is crucial. Maybe a carbon derailleur cage or something silly like that but I still wouldn't bother. If I am really interested in comfort I might try some some titanium bars or maybe look at the vibracore bars from Spank. I would also look at some different grips or just not worry so much.
If you want carbon bars go for it but don't buy them to get more comfort or anything and don't waste the time on the cheap stuff. Me personally I would go for some Koga Denham or Velo Orange Crazy Bars or Surly Moloko bars. Assuming you are going to have fun on the bike maybe do a little camping and stuff those would be a good way to go and the Moloko Bars are nice because they are 4130 chromoly.
