Looks like Obi-Wan's TPM combined with Anakin Solo's.

I have always liked Anakin's/Luke's blue lightsaber from ROTS/ANH/ESB the most.It's the best design and has quite a story behind it.
The lower grip of the Graflex saber is the uncomfortable one, because it is so thick, not the upper one. Also, Anakin's artificial hand still had a sense of touch. Not cluttered? There's the buttons on the back and front just below the emitter, which force a specific grip or you get a button jamming into your hand, and then there's the raised activator that although possible to compensate for, still prevents the saber being gripped in a certain way. I admit, it looks nice, but for practicality, it is not as good as say Obi-Wan's RotS saber, and nowhere near as ergonomic as Qui-Gon or Quinlan Vos' sabers...

Actually, those kind of hilts are very good for dueling. I think the Old Republic used them because there were more Dark Jedi/Sith than blaster people, so you'd need to focus on dueling more.
Have you held the Dooku saber? I have a replica of it, its much more annoying to use. You always have to keep your hand in the right position for it to work right. It doesn't give as free range of motion as a straight saber hilt. Although IF you do have your hand in the right spot then the balance is a little more natural and better then a straight saber hilt.
But overall its more annoying to use.
