Size counts Dept: Pipe dimensions vs tobacco type

This is a subject with many answers:
The most common advice seems to be wide/pot with aros or complex blends, lats, tall and narrow with Virginias. And of course lighting with a match - gently and centralized.
This is a subject commonly raised by newbs, but also addressed by experts:

Pipes are called square (ht = dia), rectangular (ht>dia), and triangular (narrows toward bottom). Apparently the wide pot or prince might do with the aros, complex or lats, while say a tall, narrow billiard for Virginias. Both the tall, and also the triangular are said to become more flavorful as the smoke progresses, with the triangular less likely to overpower. And so it goes.
What say you, my friends?
