I've ridden done most of my riding with drop bars (for about 40 years now...), most recently with Nitto Mod. 185 bars on my Riv (these are now sold by Rivendell in a lightened version called "Mark's Bar") and the original equipment Cinelli Giro D'Italia bars on my Paramount. I don't, however, ride on the drops. The bars are set, in the proper Rivendell manner, at a height relatively level with the saddle. Drop bars provide a number of comfortable hand positions, without using the drops, and I don't feel any particular reason to use the drops.
I've also used Mustache bars, but after some time, I decided that they really aren't very comfortable. The most easily used hand position on Mustache bars, riding on the hoods, puts the body in a "aero" position that I don't like.
