The difference is the tension in the metal and the bracing. There is no set characteristic because every model horn/brace is built differently and reacts differently to changes.

I wouldn't worry about it. If you find a horn that plays incredibly well, buy it regardless of the slide shape. I don't have a square slide for my Monette or a round slide for my Bach. They both are "open in blow character though. The differences have NOTHING to do with the tuning slide!
