It's all about personal preferences, but I would consider "drops" and "bullhorn bars" the most comfortable.

mostly personal preference but you have to consider other factors. the amount of hand positions that the bars have, how intense you're riding around town, etc

I think drops look best but straights give you the best hand position. Actually Bull horns give you multiple hand positions but kill the overall look of the bike.

I ride on the street daily and everyone I see with drops has their hands on top on the drop bars.

I ride a fixed Mercier Kilo TT. The only thing about the whole world of fixed gears is that now it really seems to be showing a fork in the road. There are those that are riding to commute and try something new and others that are less for commute and cruising and more for the mechanics of the bicycle (tricks, etc.) I think that it's just all taken off and I'm all for it. Commuting in a city like NYC, no walk in the park though.

get a used one off craigslist. older cannondales are a good choice. they're cheap and good quality.

take a look at it and check out the components and see if it fits you well. 280 doesn't seem too bad, my brother flips all his cannondales for around 300/350
