For storing large numbers of containers I think a rectangular shape is more efficient because you can place them side by side with no wasted space between them like you would have with cylinders. I think it depends on how big the containers are (cylinders are easier to roll) and how much space you have, what type of liquid is to be stored etc. as to which shape would be best.
