Supposedly round tooth is less likely to jump timing, but I've never had a problem with that on either of my cars in all the years I've had them.

round tooth supposedly holds better without slipping, a few of the higher hp guys had problems with slipping on the square tooth, they switched to round tooth and stopped having problems.

i had it in neutral and i revved it hard and it jumped a tooth... not very impressive when you rev on someone and when you go to take off your cam timing is a tooth off and you sound like an old jalopy pulling off the line... LOL.
