I have a Cane Creek crosstop on my Raleigh conversion and it works great. It's also very convenient that they are hinged for easy removal/ installation.
Although, if you are going to be riding in drops (what handlebars are you using?) most of the time, you might want something else. I tend to only ride in the drops in nice open areas where I hopefully won’t need my "emergency" brake.

Of more importance is whether you mount it on the left or right side.

To be ultra hip, you could mount it on the left side of your stem, pointing to the right. It's hipster cred +10
