Moustache is a no, won't fix your issues and besides it doesn't take the MTB parts. Alba is nice for a grocery getter, I wouldn't like it on rocky/rooty trails. I had a Jones Loop, the angle was just wrong for me and I didn't use most of the theoretical hand positions. I like the On-One Mary, which is similar to some of the other bars mentioned. Fairly inexpensive as an experiment, and will fit a standard stem. I started off with the Mary on my Clem. I'm currently using it strictly in town and swapped to an Alba, but should I get the chance to get it dirty next summer I'll likely swap back to Mary.
