the best hight would be where you are most comfortable. i think 12 or 14 depending on your hight. much more that that and your arms are probably well over your shoulders and your hands mey go numb on long rides. i like my 10" apes. i'm 5'6" and my arms are staight out. i'm comfortable, any thing higher and i wouldn't be....but thats just my .02

Apes for me - 12" is about right, I dont like them too high as I dont feel that I have the same control but that's just my opinion.

I like the old style look of apes. I understand the drag bar thing, but my back doesn't anymore. I like the feel of the apes because I can sit up straighter and my back and shoulders don't bother me like they used to with the stock bars that my bike came with. I would just pick the bars that feel the best to you and enjoy the ride from then on.
