The riding position holding on to the brake hoods should be your most used one. Use the lower part of the drops when going hard on the flats, especially into a headwind. Most advice on bars vs saddle is for the stem to be 4 cm lower than the saddle. Sit upright to get weight off the front wheel if you hit a gravel stretch; hold on to the straight part of the bars.
