Looking for the best handlebars that hit the sweet spot in aerodynamics, weight and comfort

The ones you like!

Sorry but it's subjective isn't it? Some people wouldn't touch carbon. Some like light, some aero, some crazy short stem >80, some ultra narrow >38cm, some integrated, some internally routed, some classic shaped, some compact shaped, some that support aero bar extensions.

What do you like?

No such thing as "the best" for handlebars, I'm afraid. Whatever works for you, for the riding that you do, and for the build that you want.

What about reach, drop and all over shape?
Those 3 are to relevant (and individual) to be overseen!
I ride Haero H145 RR SL, i like it but i would also like a shallower drop bar.
Anyway, my 44 size weights 153 grams.
44 size is 41.6cm centrum to centrum over hoods.
42 size is 39.6cm
Bikes:

Ax Lightness Vial EVO Race (2019.01.03)
Open *UP* (2016.04.14)
Paduano Racing Fidia (kind of shelved)


Ex bike; Vial EVO D, Vial EVO Ultra, Scott Foil, Paduano ti bike.
