Right now I have the BG set up with a Nitto Jitensha flat bar and some really pretty Campy OR levers (the lovely black and polished aluminum, not the whack gray on gray Euclids that probably could have subbed for motorcycle levers in a pinch) but when I tour I put on drops with the Tektro V levers. They work real well.
