I concur with the comments here about upright being less comfortable than drops. I have drops on my two road bikes and uprights on my two MTB's - one has standard straight MTB bars, the other has "cow horn" bars. I had change up the saddle and bar heights just to get somewhere near comfortable on those.
I'm a bit confused by the "...hand discomfort that comes with riding that slow for an entire ride on drops..." Can't you ride 90% of the time with your hands on the brake levers? And the brake levers can be moved around to get the most comfortable position for the hand/reach. I've never experienced much discomfort riding long distances with hands on or near the brake levers most of the time.
