I think it depends on where you run your bars in normal drops. I like mine a few cm below the saddle and my dirt drops hook position about the same. When descending rough stuff I like to be stretched out and low, keeping the COG as low as possible. With the new Cowchippers that have the hoods more like regular drops I might run the hoods level with the saddle and the drops where they fall.
