On handlebars...I went with a Jones H-Bar and ordered one of their H-Bar packs to fit inside the loop. Seems like a nice setup.
Nicest feeling clinchers (IMO) are Rene Herse. Not cheap, but with aging joints and the rough roads I ride on they're worth the $. In my experience they seem to run a little narrower than stated width, though that's likely as much to do with the rims/rim width as the tires themselves. Only way to know what's going to fit IRL is to take careful measurements with some calipers..... or just try it and see...
