Best grip shape

I have medium hands, so I put a second finger groove for my middle finger. Now my 0200 is like it was molded to fit my hand. The "Onion Hump" never agreed with my bird finger.
I like my ZT0560 as well, but I did sand a few of the sharper edges a bit, just rounding them enough to not be as aggressive, like at the jimping on top. It's a long handle, fitting well in my hand too. I'd like to have an actual Hinderer in my hand one day....
One day, I'll have one. THe XM-24 is amazing.

The best grip shape?
I have been finding that if you get a knife to perform top notch one way, it normally will be sub-par in some other areas. To get a knife that performs well in all areas, IMHO, you need a knife that will not give paramount service in one specific area. There is always a trade off of some sort. So, for me, the best grip shape would be one that is neutral in all situations. I guess something shaped like an Emerson CQC7 grip would be close to perfect. I don't know what that style of grip is called. Maybe someone can enlighten me with that information.
