    I like cabs with enough taper to be held securely without covering
    much of the stone.  I don't usually like particularly high domes, but
    don't want them thin enough to be weak, either.  I REALLY don't like
    ones with such straight sides that you can't ever get a secure
    setting job.  Overall shape depends on the job at hand.  Sometimes I
    like conventional domed cabs, sometimes bufftops.
