Because of the cylinder's circular shape, its surface area includes a multiple of pi. Because pi is an irrational number, you can not express its exact value numerically.

The fact that you can't express it numerically does not however mean that you can't express it at all. For example, a cylinder with a radius of 1 centimeter and a height of 1 centimeter will have a surface area of exactly 4π centimeters.

Advantages to cylinder shapes over rectangular prisms?

The exact result depends on the exact ratio of length to diameter; but in principle, with a cylinder you need less surface area - and thus less material - for the same volume.

Would it be more accurate to measure the amount of water that a container can hold by using one measurement with a large graduated cylinder or two measurements with a smaller graduated cylinder?

If you measure properly, the amount of water does not change. Measurement with whatever graduated cylinder you choose will not alter the amount of liquid measured. Most people choose to measure once with a larger one, but if the amount of liquid falls between the measurement lines, you can measure the "leftover" with a smaller cylinder and find the exact answer.
