I'm a roadie who uses fixed for training and commuting. I run it with bullhorns. I absolutely love to go on hilly training rides because I love climbing with the bullhorns. It very closely simulates my position on the hoods of the road bike... in fact, a bit more comfortable even. I also ride mountain bikes with riser bar. Great for seated climbs and technical maneuvering but awful for out of the saddle climbing. So your bar choice comes down to what kind of rider you are or want to be.
