Drop bars are versatile for relieving pressure points and boosting aerodynamics. Flat or riser bars do not give you as nice a tuck as drop bars, but they do give you more control in wider widths. If you try flatbars, you might try Ergon grips-type. They do a nice job of alleviating pressure on your palms.

If you really want to "cheat the wind" get some aerobar clip-ons, which also give your palms a rest.

Think of yourself as an experimenting scientist. You have to try different things and find out the things you really like riding with.
