For head winds, drop bars are definitely easier, and they are also better for lane splitting in heavy traffic. You may also be able to find alternate routes for head winds where you can get protection from the wind by trees or buildings. Stop before the big hill and phone home or refill your water bottle, then you can go up the hill with fresh legs - this wont reduce your commute time but it will make the hill more enjoyable.
