Thanks everyone. 
A definite preference for square pots and I have to admit - they're my choice too - mainly because they fit better in a tray.
I've read that round ones use less compost than square, as there are no corners to fill. Not tried measuring them this way so don't know for sure.
Sorting these pots is very frustrating - such miniscule differences between pots that look identical at first sight. A fraction taller, or wider, a different rim, various drainage hole patterns, some with holes up the sides as well as the base. Not to mention the flimsiness or rigidity, ridged or smooth and the colour.
My first sorting rule was that any single pots would go, as well as any that were damaged or had teeth marks (dogs not mine). I've only finished the square ones so far and there were only about 10 odd pots. Not making much of in inroad into my pot clutter. This could be a long job.
