Yep, you don't have any bends to get in the way of levers/grips.
Personally I prefer risers as I don't have a mechanic stand and need the bike to stand upside-down.
You can achieve any contact point you like with either bar, so it's just personal preference really.
Flat bars are easier to source without sweep too (if desired).
