Another vote for Microshift. I have them mounted on Albatross on the inside so that (a) they won't obstruct when I want to move hands to the curves (b) I get the sweet ratcheting type shifting for the rear DR- which is 98% of the shirting on my setup. I push with the thumb for slower gears and index finger for coming back to faster gears.
As with many other things, I was interested in experimenting with different types. So I also got XT trigger shifter. After using Microshift I don't feel like even trying those. They feel too bulky and clunky. I also like not having to listen to the clicking noise. I think they will work fine on flat bars. I do feel that shifting method is not as ergonomic as trigger shifters. If I didn't mind the bulk/real estate needs and the clicking sound, I would have gone with the trigger shifter.
