Contrary to the touted dogma, I have tried bibs and gone back to shorts. I have several pairs of each and go back and forth all the time, and when the time comes will likely purchase more of each. I find it depends on my shape and the cut of the shorts. When my waist is slender shorts are fine. When it isn't or I have a bit of a paunch, bibs can be more comfortable. I've never had an issue with shorts staying up or getting out of position. The main difference/tradeoffs with bibs is how they feel around the waist vs the feel of the straps on the shoulders, and ease of answering nature's call.
