The shakas are I think 520s at hoods 560 at drops so not as much flare as the PNW.
I never had any different bars on this bike so not much to compare it to, but the bike has slightly shorter reach with the same size stem as my road bike (11cm). I'd keep the same stem to start with, I don't think a few cm wider bars makes that much different in reach.

Sounds good, I'm also at 800 and was at 44 before I ditched the road bike entirely. Did you drop much stem length? I think the middle option is the way to go with the PNWs, over 600 at the drops might be a stretch too far.
