That is a very good question! I have been playing since 1974 and I still don't know the answer. Generally we mess around until we find something that works. We may compromise on the staple or the shape in order to get there, but once we're there, we're loath to jump into the experimentation stage all over again. If somebody could really work out which combinations work and which don't, that would be a great help. But I suspect you'd find that there isn't any consensus on that, either, as other variables besides shape and staple might affect the rate of success. For one thing, shapes that are called the same thing are not always the same thing in practice, as a worn shaper tip or different technique might give different results.
