very much personal preference. I don't like wide, lots of flare or much drop.
I tend to make use of all parts of the bars, but only really use the drops on technical descents, so go for a compact drop without too much reach. Hoods is obviously the primary position, but if it's really muddy I'll use the tops to get a bit more weight and traction on the rear wheel.
tl/dr most compact drops are fine.

What are your favourite bars for CX? I am thinking Zipp Service Course SL70 for a new build, but would like to be aware of alternatives
