After a long time with the Woodchippers I switched to the Cowchippers.
Wide drop bars are ace for mixed terrain, but only if you really are doing silly offroad shit with 2" tires and a lot of long fast technical desceding. Basically just a step before a front suspension and a flat bar. The hoods are so wide that you feel like a kite in the wind for normal road diring, loads of drag.
Normal CX/adventure drop bars with a minimum of flare are good for everything else, 44 width probably. I am really happy with the Cowchipper for the mixed riding I do.
