Think of the facing curve as the fulcrum on a springboard... the reed being the flexible board. If you watch top divers in action, you will note that each has a preferred position for the fulcrum.

It's about optimizing the point of flexion for your chosen reed.

Go with the one that lets you play with least hassle - you'll get in more practice time. When reaching the topmost portions of the instrument, you may find that reed adjustments get you the most gains.

Ben Amato wrote a wonderful text on just that subject.
Amazing really, what a few judicious swipes of sand paper can do...
