In looking around at Clubmans I see two basic types. The type sold all over ebay, which is one continuous bar with a bend in it, and the Omars/MikesXS style, which is the center bar with the handles welded on.
Which one does everyone like and why?

Also, on the one-piece bars, am I correct in thinking that you can mount them two ways? Down low like clip ons or flip them over and they're a little more horizontal? At least it looks that way in some pics I've seen.

Besides clip-ons, is there any other bar that gives you that old-school cafe' look lke the clubmans do?

I run the clubman style single bar with a bend you can look at my gallery for pictures. The main reason I ened up with them is price I found them for $17 they use the stock mount setup and there is some forward and back movement for your comfort but I find where I left them works I am not sitting on my wrists and I can reach everything in a very comfortable fashion. I also have not setup the bike with rear sets that I think will make a difference where you want your hands.
I like the clip on's but they are a little more extreme seating position I am not as young as I use to be.
there are bars made that are clip ons but fully adjustable. google guzzino's they are a moto guzzi parts place look under there novelli race parts
looks to be good quality stuff.

good luck
