Straight Bars/ Drops

I have a cross bike, a Kelly Knobby X to be exact that I want to start doing longer tours on. The first being the C&O Canal in MD. Right now I have drop bars because I had it set up for racing cross.. but I'm not doing that anymore...
I found while commuting or general riding i'm not in my drops too much. The person I'll be doing most my tours with isn't an aggresive rider at all.

I was wondering how many people use Drop bars vs Straight bars or moustache type? Are there many pro cons vs the two. I do know that drops give you many hand positions, thats why I was thinking of the route of a moustache/H nitto type bar.

Suggestions please?
