Question Do you prefer concaved or flat pads for you PC?

I can not tell a difference and was just wondering what you all like to use.

I was told that the concave shape holds the product in the center of the pad a little better -- that is, it seems to counteract the tendency of the product to work outward. Something about centrifugal vs. centripetal force?

I like flat pads as then the whole pad is making contact with similar pressure.
