I just don't know exactly what I want. I would love to have some of those Flexx bars, but don't want to spend that kind of money.

Id go with a set of pro aper SE bars mid bend.... and i would stay away from steel bars thos are what have been known to bend more expensive parts. Maybe a Set of Bar spacers could be the answer?

I just got a pair of 909 aluminum bars. I haven't even had a chance to put them on. I will let you know what I think.

I have a set of Tag T2s on my banshee and are nice but remember that if you buy 1 1/8" bars that you may run out of room to mount all of your controls. I have Flexx bars on my LTR and love them, you can change the spaces to stiffen and soften the give in the handlebars. Are worth the money if you race, but would not recommend for novice riders simply because you wont use the potential of the bars. For just regular riding the Flexx bars would be just like having a regular set of bars. You really need to ride hard to use their full potential. If you back hurts, chances are its not your handlebars itself but the height of your bars. I would recommend handlebar risers.

My stock bars on my TRX were just a little too low, so I bought some Pro Taper Evos. These are fat bars so I put the adapter on the stock clamps and it gave them enough of a lift to be comfy. As far as using cheap steel bars, This does speak some truth. With the stock bars if you roll your quad chances are your bars will bend. This takes away from the impact on the steering stem. In theory the stronger after market bars won't bend, so if you flip there is a chance of bending the stem. The down side to cheap steel bars is the material they use. The steel allows for every bit of vibration to travel through to your hands. The better composites on the Pro tapers and stuff reduce that.
