Tim, I also have a 58cm Hunqapillar and have tried many handlebars. I 
started out with flipped albatross, then regular albatross, bullmoose, 
noodles, and now currently, bosco bars. 

Current setup here: https://flic.kr/p/pqSJqk

I liked the noodles, but the top tube length was just too long even with a 
5 cm stem. The bosco bars give me a better fit and offer at least as many 
hand positions as the noodles. I had Brooks leather on the noodles and just 
moved it over to the bosco bars. The bar end extensions give me a couple of 
more grip positions and the cross levers let me ride stretched out without 
being too far away from the brakes.
