Certain edge treatments are easier to clean than others based on creasing and curvature. Very elaborate edges would take a little more maintenance than the less complex ones. Also for families with young children you may want to consider getting an edge that is rounded on the bottom so when they are running around the house and they bump their head on the counter all they get is a bump.
Depending on how much you’re willing to spend on an edge is also a contributor to choosing a style. Some edge treatments range higher in price than others based upon the time and labor it takes to profile the edge.
If its style you’re seeking than the best choice to go with would be what is most flattering to the overall appearance of the countertop and its surrounding area. This would basically be the one that you find to be most appealing.
