It's all really what your prefer. I'm not a big xc rider but I notice that most of those guys have rise handlebars. For DJ/Freeride stuff the rise handlebars are easier to spin around (bar spins and the like). XC, you obviously aren't doing bar spins so handle bars are up to you. Try a bunch of differen't kinds, different sweep angles, amount of rise. Check out the carbon bars and see what you think. They're very very light. Some people like them, others don't. Bring your bike to the shop or something and have them throw a handlebar on there and ride around with it to see how it feels.
