The sway (anti-roll) bar is simply a convenient way to adjust the weight transfer front-to-rear. On some cars, of course, (including SB's), it also serves as a suspension locating link. The stiffer bar generally improves handling at the expense of ride quality (due to the increase in single wheel bump rate). The "best" bar to use is a matter of personal taste and desires in ride/handling within the limitations of the type of car it's on. That is, you don't want "too much bar" on the rear of a rear-engine car, for example.
