For me, who have used dozens of bars, these are the ne plus ultra of road bars:
http://www.compasscycle.com/handlebars_gb_maes_para.html They are made by Nitto to more-than-Nitto standards -- they make Noodles look crude. but the essential benefit is the shape: you can set them parallel to the ground for comfortable hooks while maintaining the long, flat ramp. They are narrow by Rivendell standards -- I think those on my Rivs are 37 or 38 at the hoods, tho' they flare at the ends of the hooks -- but again, bar none, these are the most comfortable bars I have used. Road use implied, of course.
