What shape of drops do you find comfortable? What do you want them for?
I like compact ones. I don't think ergo ones are that comfortable, they are ok, but I like compact's more. I have ergo ones on two of my bikes. I think the FSA ones are better than the bonti ones.
I also found a set of classic shaped cinelli ones with internal cable routing and a short distance between the flats and the drops. I like these too, as I didn't want the levers too far away for comfort, but needed a non-OS clamp and something classic looking.
If I was touring, I'd be tempted to try something like the randoners. If I was riding in the city on a classic bike, I'd probably plump for the noddles.
I have also heard of some people who find ergo bars really comfortable. And there are others who rock track drops, and I guess some of those like them too.
