As to the bars, we would need to know what you did not like about the stock bars to have any idea of what might work better for you.
You could just swap out the tires to something like the Schwalbe Marathon Supreme 700X28. I did on my Cross Check and suddenly the bike was a lot more responsive, quick, and handled very well. I wouldn't pass on the Cross Check over something that is so easy to change (tires)
