If I remember correctly, the ultimates are vertical PBs, which tend to be unresponsive as they wear.  Read about this design flaw here.  For this reason, horizontal PBs are the button of choice for most BYOACers.

Also, I believe that competition PBs use the horizontal design, but have a rounded top and are less popular than the standard horizontals.
