Type of Arbor?

I'm planning on putting an arbor in my garden and I think I've decided on 2 climbing icebergs (white) to grow on it. Will I get more blooms if I get an arbor that is flat on the top vs one that has the rounded top? Will it be easier to train the roses on one vs the other? Am I overthinking this? I've never grown a climbing rose so training it will be new to me. Thanks!

Just my personal preference: I like the rounded tops better than the flat ones, because they look more elegant and natural--what growing plant has a flat top in nature? Rounded might be slightly easier for rose attachment as well. Your project sounds beautiful. Remember to post photos please! :)
