Default Handlebars

I have a 2006 softail heritage classic. Im 5'11 so im lookin to upgrade my handlebars from stock to 14" or 16" or something to be around shoulder height or a little above. Whats going to be more comfortable? Whats a good brand/ company to go with? What looks the best? Just need some opinions or ideas.

If you like the feel of your stock bars, it would be cheaper and easier to go with 2 1/2" risers. Anything over that you are changing cables and wiring. JMO.
