first set, just bought the cheapest Profile alu basebar and clipon I could find..
then got a set of Hed carbon integrated, off the classifieds here.
Those are getting a bit old and I worry about the elderly carbon, so may replace with newer alu ones.

my picks would start from slowman's latest recommendations, either Zipp or Profile, see

and

$140 for the Zipp alu bars seems a reasonable price, for tri values of 'reasonable price'..
hopefully those would fit your basebar, otherwise yet more recreational shopping to do..

"It is a good feeling for old men who have begun to fear failure, any sort of failure, to set a schedule for exercise and stick to it. If an aging man can run a distance of three miles, for instance, he knows that whatever his other failures may be, he is not completely wasted away." Romain Gary, SI interview

I never did find the Profile armrests to be particularly comfortable. Have had much better luck with Vision extensions, whether R bend or J bend. Come in different lengths and the pads are easily replaced ($21 off ebay or CeeGees are always available for them).

I’ve just used the p5 bars since I got it but before then it was pretty much whatever was fastest. Unfortunately it seems like there has been a huge decrease in wind tunnel date for aerobars over the last few years. I don’t know if they’re just so close it doesn’t matter anymore or what.

But I would first workout a budget and go from there because they’re all over the place for aerobars

this is a good question and not one that's asked often enough.

A good build really ought to start from the bars and work back, but since you already have a frame you might want to consider how each choice interacts with your frame size and stem.

That said, it seems like budget is your driving factor, so you could do ok just replacing what you have.

With regard to comfort, have you ever had a proper fit?
