Within reason, it makes sense to go with the narrowest bars you are comfortable with. For me that is normal road bars despite the fact that I have wider than average shoulders. I have tried wider bars and saw no benefit.
Obviously use what works for you, but just because you have wide shoulders does not necessarily mean that you need wider bars.
