Curved or regular muay thai pads?

Quick question hopefully this is the right place to post this, any opinion or reviews on pros and cons of curve and regular muay thai pads?

I’ve trained with regular ones but never with curved pads.

Wondering if curved pads were worth investing in or just stick to the regular thai pads?

(Feedback from muay thai coaches & competitiors would be appreciated and preferred)

Thanks in advance!

I do not like the curved. I have victory curved small and Hiyabusa curved large and I only use my Boon smalls which are strait. The curve does nothing for me. If they kick in an up angle for a lifting body kick, it feels difficult to hold against. The strait is better.
