As the title says what do you prefer?

I prefer oval: Nice feel, stops the bat spinning

Ever since my first Millichamp and Hall in 1989/90 - the first bat that I had ever seen with an oval handle I have not looked at anything else than an oval handle - round handles don't feel right now.

I couldn't care less about the handle, the feel of the bat is more important to me personally

I prefer oval as it just feels more comfortable. :)

Out of the choices above, oval.  Although the handles on some of my bats are more pentagonal, and that feels nicer than oval.
