I don't feel like I need multiple hand positions because I rarely come off of the hoods when I ride my road bike. I also thought about getting bar ends if I get the flat bar bike.
What are your thoughts? Pros and Cons? Things to think about?[/QUOTE]

I would recommend the KHS Flite with the dropped bars - set so that the tops are roughly level with the saddle. With your height, no more than 2 inches lower, and really level would be the way to go here. I humbly submit that the reason you rarely come off the hoods is because no other position is at all comfortable. The older cycling manuals from 50 years ago and more used to recommend bars level with saddle for non-racing purposes, and as a 63-year-old I have found this works really well on all sorts of road surfaces. I would also gently suggest looking at how traditional Randonneuring bikes are set up. Having the bars higher would let you use ALL of that real estate, which in turn lets you use different muscle groups and spread the workload around.

Caveats - I note that much of my cycling is on fixed-gears and single-speed bikes, which if ridden for any distance over any varying terrain pretty much requires dropped bars to use all sorts of body English. I tend to lean towards traditional steel bikes. My cycling history starts with the bike boom of the early 70s, which had more of an emphasis on touring and day touring, and less focus on performance or speed or even technology.
