Thanks for all of the great advice, I do remember that my bike attacked
hills a lot more efficiently with a straight bar not as high up and
never had a problem with it loosening, I will follow your advice

but does anyone know of a handlebar that can fit both styles, allow you
to sit upright with some sort of an attachment, yet also allow for
agressive riding, thanks again

I think you might be looking for "bar ends".
These are special short bar stubs that go on the ends of the handlebars.
They are handy for hill climbing.
