I would recommend the convex nose.If you never do gap-fillers you'll still be protected in crosswinds.
If you eventually do gap-fillers,you'll have a proper ball-and-socket articulation with the air shingling down the filler panel 'socket' and onto the trailer 'ball.'
Anything you can do to close off the gap will help cut fuel.But remember that the trailer will have range of motion in pitch,roll,and yaw,and sometimes all three simultaneously.It's easy to get things bound up.
