I have a flat bar road bike and a drop bar road bike as well. I can tell you first hand that the differences in aero-dynamics for the average rider is negligible. If anything the flat bar climbs better due to the increased leverage of a wider bar and bar extensions.
As its been said many times in this forum... its the rider not the bike.
