depends on kind of bike and riding; the more travel suspension, especially the front, demands a wider bar than the old-saw "bar as wide as your shoulders". now you need the added leverage of a longer bar. not knowing your bikeset-up, i guess a raiser bar at 24-26". but it depends on bike,body,frame specifics to give much better set-up suggestion.
