I believe that preferences for width also depend on the bike and terrain. My Bombadil really handles best with WIDE bars (48 noodle and bullmoose). I like the Quickbeam with 48 noodles because I'm out of the saddle cranking up hills a lot and I like the extra leverage. I have a geared road bike with 45cm bars and it rides great with those. Also, I find that as the need for control in rougher terrain increases, wider bars offer better handling.
