I love the Albatross because they have a little more rise than the Moustache... and may be getting them for my new fixie (or possibly the Soma Noah's Arc, I can't decide).
My vote is for the Albatross bars, but purely for aesthetical reasons. Plus I think your basket will fit on them better.

Another vote for Albatross. I've read a few cyclists' accounts of how they switched from moustache to alb. and loved the better comfort level.
My DH had straight bars on his old Trek hybrid (like what you have on Lotus Blossom) and he switched them to albatross and LOVED it. They look elegant too.
