For bars, I'm also not short, but I really like my short reach / shallow drop bars. One thing to consider is if you want classic or ergo bend. That's personal preference.
Another thing is if you want wing top bars or if you might want to create a wing top effect with double layer bartape or gel pads. If you ride a lot at the corners, especially when climbing, wing top bars might annoy you. If you tend to grab the hoods to climb out of the saddle or if you ride a lot resting on the tops, then you might like a flatter top bar. A lot of those are carbon bars, but there are some good aluminum options as well.
