If you're using an open face stem, just try a couple bars. Most cross levers are hinged, so just tape a few bars and try them out. It took me a few tries to realize I like track drops. It, like most other topics in these forums, comes down to your comfort, which is an unknown variable to us. IMO trial and error seems to be the best way to get any bike fitted to your body and riding style. It never hurts to have the option to switch bars, for example: sometimes my back hurts, on those days I ride a more upright bike with riser bars.
