I guess its kinda a philosphical question.
You'll need help with this one. Get on yer bike and have someone hold the front wheel between their knees. Rotate the bars until they feel comfortable. Close your eyes if you have to. Go from the hoods to the drops and back until you find the best fit. You should be able to switch between the two comfortably in a natural movement.
