French cuff style

What is your preference regarding french cuffs style? This is regarding rounded FC, mitred FC or square FC.

I hear some people say rounded french cuffs help avoid the cuff being caught up in the sleeve of the jacket, but I never experience this problem.

All the French cuff shirts I sell are mitred. I think it looks better than rounded, and I do have the problem of square cuffs getting caught. But if you don't then just go for square, as it is marginally the cleanest looking option.

Mitered for heavier shirts (120/2 and below), straight for finer shirts. Not a fan of rounded.

I like rounded best, and I find that it does help the cuff slide through the sleeve. But most of my double cuff shirts have square cuffs.
