I put a pair of budget aerobars on. "profile" I think. I found them difficult. When your on the aerobars your whole body is so aling the axis of your bike that it feels too wobbly.

Also I have down tube shifters, not STI or Ergo so I found shifting tricky when on the aerobars, so I was only using them when I had a long stretch of flattish road. Unfortunately rare on my common routes.

They also cluttered up my bars and actually reduced the amount of holding places I had.

If I had perhaps ergo shifters, better aero bars and more practice I'd probably like them better.
