For my Gravel bike 31.8mm clamp. Currently they are non flared just normal road bars.

Apparently a 12 degree flare maintains a near normal hood position, after that they flare out more.

Genetic offer well priced bars:

Easton EA 70 AX ? I have the carbon version on my bike and I like the position. Think I should have gone for 44cm width though.

Yea, I have the Easton EA 70 AX too, it's a minimal flare, flared bar. I like it.

I'm using Selcof Sterrato from Planet X

They're currently on sale with 30% off so cost £14, but I think I paid £13 last year. They have a 10 degree flare and are quite compact so might not be so good if you've got big hands but I'm happy with them.

I think their On One Brian bars are supposed to have a slightly better shape but I wasn't aware of them when I bought mine.

Some good ideas. Might plump for cheapy planet x ones first to test the water.

I've got the Easton EA70 AX carbon ones too now. Replaced a giant aluminium one. Which cost £15, doesn't weigh a lot, has a little less flare than the Easton, so very much more a road bar with a little flare rather than a pronounced flared bar.

If you don't mind waiting about 3weeks I'll gladly send you them for a charity donation.
