I've got bar end brakes and bullhorns (well... pursuit bars) on my fixed. I much, much prefer them. I find it gives me a really comfortable riding position - I felt too cramped when I had them on the tops.
Plus if I'm going at any speed I'm likely to be on the horns, and that's when I reckon I most need the brakes. As it's fixed, I've got that to fall back on when I'm on the tops.
