Hoods and hooks for me. Both allow you access to the brakes. So while the "hooks", if that's what we're calling it now, is a "more aggressive" position, I can still feather the brakes when things feel a little scary.
"True drops" is madness. Maybe on a fixie it might make sense, but I wouldn't know. I remember seeing bike couriers in Dublin ride like that. And then occasionally see hipster types attempt it, because they saw it and it looks cool.
"Tops" is good for stretching the back and shoulder out, which as I mentioned earlier today was a real problem I had.
But if I ever get back into cycling, I don't think I could do flatbars.
