I'd go for the more backswept bars that are pointed toward the rear as shown by GamblerGORD53 , or some of the other odd and less common bar shapes if you don't want to consider drop bars. Me, I use drop bars. I had some that were too wide and found that I tended to bend my wrist both when on the hoods and on the drops. Getting a narrower set of drops eliminated that bending of the wrists.
I have Cane Creek bar ends and I'm probably on those most of the time. I have noticed the silver part of the Ergon grip hits the middle bottom of my palm. Maybe that's at least part of the problem, I don't know.
