I am assuming galvanized is better than painted and that round bottom is the standard vs concave. I am right?

I don't have experience with those particular valve handles but I do with the Vindicator handles like these:

I prefer the longer handle because it is easier to grab when hands are cold and slippery. I don't think longer handles would matter that much in the tropics but are worth considering in water cold enough to require Neoprene or dry gloves.
