The ramps of both are pretty much horizontal, so you'll have a near seamless transition between the bar and the lever.
The obvious difference is between the hooks: if you spend a lot of time riding in that position, then ergo bend bars will likely be more comfortable, as the wrist is straighter. But you may find that the drops are too short for a secure grip, so you lose that position.
