More options than you could possibly shake a stick at!

You'll not go far wrong with most makes these days, but pick what's important to you from the following...

-Price
-Weight
-Strength
-Looks
-Rise
-Width

How much width do you want? 680ish mm is fairly standard these days, some bars go up to 800mm! How much rise do you want? I prefer less these days myself, just bought some Raceface Diabolus' with only 12mm of rise for one of my bikes... I used to run 40mm rise bars all the time, these days I go for almost flat.

Stem wise, at 70mm go for something a bit beefier, with a 4 bolt faceplate. Flexy stems and wide bars do not make for confidence in the corners personally!

Aye a stem is a stem is a stem. just go on looks price weight. Bars fairly similar. Bontrager RL lowrise bars are 690, should be able to find some cheap.
