The biggest problem with bars is that everybody measures them differently. To me a bar should be measured from the center point of where the mountain is to the center point of where the grip is.

Also 5'9 and a thin guy. They aren't super flashy but I used to run these 14" handlebars from J&P Cycle. Most comfortable bars I've ever owned. Price is right too.
