I've always found Easton bars good, they do the EA50/70 range up to 685mm, if you want longer they do the Haven/Havoc.

Easton, as mentioned. Whichever ones fit in budget.

Sunline V1's - I used to use the V3's which I think are the same shape, just a cheaper version.

KCNC SC Bone Riser bars are nice. I bought the low rise, but if buying again would probably go for the normal rise. The sweep took a few rides to get used to, but I now find them very comfy.

Merlin often do good deals on handlebars....they currently have RF Deus for £30 down from £60, but they are only 685mm, I think.
