I like the criss cross cable one if it really does protect paintwork.

This also takes the guess work out of getting both bar-ends the same angle.

Undo the crank bolt a few turns so that it is only hand tight. Then ride around the block a few times. The crank will work off the tapers and providing you are sensible about it and don't honk up a 1 in 3 the tapers will not be damaged either!
