They're all roughly the same. Most all of them nowadays are hexagon shaped to keep them from rolling around.
I use mine pretty sparingly -- it can REALLY oversmoke something if you're not careful. And since it brings so little heat to the table, it isn't as though it helps you build a bark.
The folks that use it on a Traeger or some other pellet grill -- that makes sense to me. I'd pretty much always advise against using them, however, if you're using any sort of actual smoker.
If you're getting your heat from your smoking wood, the smoke tubes are overkill, IMO. But if you're trying to smoke cheese or something or using a grill with a more benign fuel source (pellets, charcoal, etc...) then sure - use the tube.
