IMO, it's all about the hand position. I prefer the wrist position of drops over anything else. That decision made, I place them at a height and distance that's comfortable to me.

I don't understand people who say something like "the drops are too low"... all that means is THEIR drops are too low. This forum is particularly bad about this.
