Default Which style of bars would look better?

Yes,yes I know it's all subjective - eye of the beholder kind of thing.

I have a '12 Blackline and want to change out bars for something that I think will be much more comfortable for longer rides and have narrowed it down to either Hardtail Choppers or Todd's Cycles bars. Problem is I can't decide between the split ape style or the t-bar style.

Any recommendations or feedback from those that have either.

FYI I'm about 5'5" and feel like I'm leaning a little forward with the stock bars, and after a while hands go numb from the forward position (i also have a tendency, because of the positioning I'm in to put my weight on the bars causing my hands to go numb). Bringing them up and closer to me, I think will help.

I would go with Hardtail Choppers, they will build bars to any geometry you want.

Always thought the Blackline looks great with apes.
