On a straight-type bar (MTB or city hybrid) I like the twist shifters from both Shimano and SRAM. One thing I prefer is for the front shifter to be the twist version of "friction" in which there are about 20 small click increments instead of the few for front index shifting. I find it much more useful for trimming the front derailleur when adjusting the cage in compensation for the chain angle changes from shifting the rear.
