For a mountain bike do you think straight bars are better then 'riser' or 'monkey bars'?

Depends on the bike, some bikes I prefer with very narrow flat bars, mainly in the XC area or fitness bikes, the heftier bikes, larger travel bikes with wide riser bars.0

Depends on the headtube length, geometry, spacers, stem type etc.0

This. I run much lower bars than a mate to keep my weight over the front wheel where I like it. He runs massive risers to keep his weight over the back so he can manual through everything.0 -
Drop bars!
No, not really.
Well, yes, on a CX bike. They're sort of off-road.0
