I prefer rounded for the water run off.

Flat is nice for finishing and for A/C installation.

I went back and looked at the flat top. Looks like a leak waiting to happen.
It just had caulking smeared on the seam.

I have a rounded Wells Cargo trailer. I like that it sheds the weather nicely.
I had a flat roof mobile home and every winter I had problems and it wasn't old.
I swore I'd never buy anything again that had a flat roof for my neck of the woods.
it may be easier to install ac on a flat roof, but if you know what you're doing that shouldn't be the deciding factor. IMO.

Flat, much easier to finish and if u want to add an awning, that will make it simpler.

I have had both round or flat the AC unit fits a 14 inch hole and it seals very well as does the fantastic fans and just plain vents.
if you like a perticular style by all means get the one you like you'll be happier.
