        I much prefer the flat-top  - you can stand on it to do antenna work 
and overall it's easier to work with. 
 
        Also, aggressive (read big  mast and stack of HF antennas) 
installations put too much stress on the  taper-top sections and they may break. I've 
seen a couple of them myself. Never  seen any problem with the flat-tops.
