I feel like we just discussed this recently? Anywho I prefer drop bars as it is easier to mount both brake levers and shifters on them and still have my ergo flat top. I do have a set of bullhorns on one of my single speeds and I do really like them (Zipp Vuka Alumina) but mounting stuff is a bit harder and I don't like the look of bar ends inside of the brake levers on the ends. The bike they are on is a quick little FG/SS Langster which is a lot of fun for zipping around but not one I would want for long distance, personally.
If you are looking multi position and don't want drops, try a Trekking/Butterfly bar or a Jones Loop bar or a Velo Orange Crazy Bar (probably the most similar to a bullhorn but more useful for touring)
