Reach and stack really affect this conversation.

Generally drop bars even at 440mm are narrower than flat bars. Narrow also matters for steering and aero.

I would say if you don’t use them much get a higher stack and a shallower drop handlebar. So then you can use both and have plenty of hamd options.

Also, even for the non racer I’d suggest a slightly aero drop bar. The flatter top section of the bar tops is heavenly to me compared to a round bar. Also, that “additional” position just short of the hoods being flat is really nice on an aero bar for comfort. Just buy one without much change in reach.
