As already stated, flat is better for a number of situations. One where round is definitely better is when your belt run does not lie in a plane. Round belt lets you route the belt through a 3-D shape. One of our week 2-3 designs this year featured round cord in such a path, because the "simple" return route for the cord would have taken it through a bumper. We ultimately just used wheels.
