...That said, I like prefer cables wrapped under the bars....
You might think it looks better, but routing the cable under the bar tape adds two relatively sharp 90 degree bends which adds cable drag and increases housing wear which then creases the need for maintenance. And replacing the housings is way more work than with the exposed housing.
