I doubt there's an ideal bar for s Sam, as there is no "ideal" build for a Sam. The versatility is the virtue. If you want to sit up and watch the scenery, and Albatross or similar would be great. For fast-ish road riding it's hard to beat drops. Wide Noodles with interrupter levers feel especially nice riding around on the tops. Good for your towpath rides. Almost makes your bike seem like it has drops AND flat bars. In the middle would be Moustache and the like.
Sounds to me like it would help you to think a bit more about the line between when you'd ride the Sam and when you'd ride your custom roadie. Since you have the top end of the performance spectrum covered, I wouldn't push the Sam to be something it doesn't want to be. It can fill an awful lot of ground in the middle, but isn't the best choice for either of the extremes.
