personally, my favorite bars are either azonic doublewalls or dangerboys... both lighter and cheaper than the deitys... answer protapers are also very nice, light bars, but may be a bit out of your price range...

i also have a set of azonic strip bars, and they are very cheap (i got mine for under $20) but they are pretty heavy...

Chromag Fubars without a doubt. I've run 2 sets of them and have a bunch of friends who run them, never seen anyone have a problem. Plus they make them in a flat model which just feels right, but they make risers as well!
Good luck!

I rate Easton EA70's or Bontrager King Earls. Can't be beat.

Just throwing this out there, but which matters more/do you care more about?

-Who makes them and how "strong" they are?
-What amount of rise and rake they have?

Both are equally important. If a bar is made by some cheap-o company and isn't strong I'm not going to waste my money. If it doesn't have the proper rise and rake, well that's a lot like buying shoes that don't fit.
