Default Framing Nailer - Round or Clipped Head?

Guys,

I'm getting ready to build a railing on a new deck, and want to get a
framing nailer.
It appears that I have to make a choice between a round head and clipped
head
nailer.

What are the pro's and con's of each style? Is there one that's favored
over the other,
for general nailing. For this project I'll be toe nailing the horizontal
railing members
(2x4) to the 4x4 posts. I'm assuming the clipped head nailer will leave a
smaller
nail hole. Does that also mean it doesn't provide as much holding power?

TIA,

Jeff
