I don't own a QB or SO, but I do have 3 ss-ers. I find that I want the same bars, or close to the same bars, on my dirt road bikes as on my pavement bikes, and I've tried all sorts of bars but come back to my favorite, the Maes Parallel, which I have on my 2 Riv Roads (38 cm) as well as on the dirt road Matthews -- whopping 42 cm wide, for control in sandy soil; though I find when I ride my Rivs in the same places, it's far less the narrow bar that makes control awkward as the ~28 mm tires that simply don't track well if the sand is deeper than 1".
My 3d ss-er has the wide (for me) original edition Moustache bar, but that's because it's a folder, and I want something compact and as close to 2 dimensional as possible that at least distantly resembles a drop bar. Of course, if you are riding singletrack, then a wider bar is better -- trying technical singletrack on my 42 cm B 135'd Fargo was rather anxiety-making! But if you are riding flattish, or at least straightish, dirt and gravel, and the surfaces are firm, I don't see why you'd need a wider bar ...?
