Round or Oval Front Lower Control Arms?

Which is preferred overall for better handling... round or oval front lower control arms? Mine are oval, and since they are pitted bad, was considering getting the older style round ones instead (so I have the option to consider using GW del-a-lum bushings).

Round gives slightly better handling, oval gives slightly better ride comfort.
It's explained well here...
