Like many of the above replies, I have both set ups. I would say bar ends are better due to always being near at and (and I ride with my hands resting on them when I have Moustache bars). But, downtube shifters are fine on a bike you don't shift a whole bunch, and don't ride aggressively off road. Looks much cleaner which is why I have them on that bike.
