Default Pullback on bars

Hey guys, sorry to start another thread about bars but....

I having alot of trouble working out how much is too much [or not enough] pullback.

Im looking at getting some about 8", miniapes or z bars [8" is about as high as i can go to keep it legal-ish], but the ones i can find that have the dimpling range from 1" pull back like the friscos, to 8" pullback.

What does it effect, such as rotating them forwards would make them point upwards depending on the degree of pullback? can someone explain all this. I would go try some out and look at them, but since i live in a country run by old people, most bars are illegal and no one seems to stock them.
