So I've noticed that a lot of trumpets have different tuning slides.

It seems that the "standard" on most trumpets are the square tuning slide.

Next there is the Round tuning slide, and finally I've seen ovate (or oval shaped) tuning slides on some higher-end models (like the Edwards or Monette). Could anyone tell me the difference between them?
