In my opinion, the rubber edge trim extrusions with the rounded back look better than the straight back edge trim extrusions. When the edge is exposed they also go around sharp corners a bit better. Also very important to get the correct edge trim opening for your application, never try to put a smaller rubber edge trim extrusion opening over a thicker item. It will not work out well. A slightly larger opening rubber edge trim extrusion can be made to work with a bit of glue or if it is butted against something it would not matter.
