I'd suggest the Surly/Nitto Torsion bar. You'll need new brake levers. Standard Tektro or whathaveyou will work.
Actually have that setup on my Surly LHT. Not great for riding into a headwind. Otherwise, like you, I don't think about it. The other suggestion could be a pair of Salsa Woodchipper bars. Really wide and very extreme in the drops. I find them comfortable. Although others may not. Those would work with your existing brake levers and bar ends. Still would suggest trying them out before buying. BTW, Jim @ Hiawatha has built up a Sam Hillborne with those bars. Hopefully he'll post a photo of that bike soon.
