Most comfortable road drops...

Most comfortable road drops...
So since my last thread got almost 100 replies and 1200 views, with literally no actual response as to which bars are the most comfortable/stable, I will ask it again?
Basically most people have been saying two bars the most.
3T Erganova's and FSA Wing Pro Compact's.
Which, to you guys, are the most comfortable in terms of every aspect (drop, reach, etc)?
I also want other options too.
Don't make this a repeat thread where you bring up other one's, come on guys haha.
THIS IS ABOUT ROAD DROPS NOT TRACK DROPS.

Oh and btw, I wound up buying the Cinelli Mash bullhorns and have been riding them for a few weeks and love them. Picked up a front brake as well, although I only got it for my knees, considering I like them and need the to continue biking haha.
So now I own Nitto B125AA's, Cinelli Mash Bullhorn's, and LDG Risers. All I need now is road drops...help me out.

I have 3T Erganova's on my track bike and FSA Wing Pro Compacts on my roadie. Both are awesome, you can't lose

Both the Ergonova and the Wing Compact work great for me. I think the FSA bar has more straight drop coming back which is nice to have for even more hand positions. FYI, I have relatively long fingers on a medium sized hand if that taras is useful.

Wait, you ask us what the best are, there is an overall consensus that narrows it down to 3, and you still don't think you have an answer?
what the ****?

Body proportions/flexibility and bike purpose vary, eh? Good for you may not be good for me. Long arms & flexible...you'd probably like more drop/reach. I'm neither and like my short/shallow Deda Zero100 (RHM bend) very much.
Too little data and too many variables (bar angle, hood position, rando or race...to name a few) to get a quality answer. See a fitter or actually try the bars on your bike if you want relevant info maybe?

Really? Bars are almost like saddles. You got the popular ones, now choose the one you think looks cool.

I like IPAs.

I just want something I can use a lot, like pushing lots of miles, but staying relatively comfortable (hands mostly, considering I know most of it has to do with your bike being fit to you).

Probably the beer I dislike the most. Something about hops, I never willingly buy IPA's.

i have nitto b111's. i enjoy them. bar tape is all ripped up because of drunken falls and dropping bike while walking it drunk lolol.

I use Soma Hwy1s because they fit my quill stem and I didn't want to shell out for Nitto M106 compact bars. I have never used the FSA or 3T bar.
And you will never get a definitive answer to your question.

And don't quit potato chips, they're so good. (my favorite are the Herr's kettle cooked jalapeno flavor if you're interested)

What's your favorite color?

Much like the way I never willingly buy Nitto B15AAs or Mash bullhorns. It's true, bars are a matter of personal comfort. Personally, my best experience with a drop bar has been the Salsa Short & Shallow ergonomic drop. That doesn't mean you'll like them.

I feel like most people are moving towards compact drops, rather than classic round and ergo. I guess they are more comfortable? I mean I love the Cinelli Vai drops but basically all of the compact bars are around the exact same drop/reach and most of them are the same price, excluding carbon and such. I guess I'm just going to have to choose a brand haha.
