Track drops suck for climbing as there is no leverage. Most people who use track drops on the street ride the tops, where the forward angle out of the stem is not appropriate. Riding in the drop portion will result in a saddle to bar drop that's ridiculous unless you are sprinting.

Aesthetic choices are important but not as important as being in control and optimizing power. Road drops are better, especially when paired with hoods. (The main difference between road and track drops is the bigger drop and reach of track bars.)
