Glow plug: Bullet or Round tip?

Hello all:
In replacing a bad glow plug I noticed that the bad plug (Bosch France) was of a bullet styled tip looks like a .22cal bullet, smaller tapered tip than the diameter of the main shaft.

My replacement is a good spare Behr original to the engine stamped W. Germany. It is a rounded tip pencil style, looks like a pushrod smooth and rounded to the same diameter of the main shaft.

Any ideas as to the pros/cons of each style tip? Any issues is mixing styles?
TIA
