Yea, ovals won't shift. But I don't find shifting to be that big of deal (unless on something really delicate/balance).
What I don't like about ovals is when you grab them in your hand, you have no idea which side the gate is on and which side the hinge is on. It is too easy to fumble something. But each to their own.
For the most part, I go with really light biners even if they have tiny gate openings and lack versatility. Weight is an issue. You can always have a couple of larger biners around that you save/use in more special cases. For instance, a really large biner for clipping in the aiders/daisy etc.
For instance, non-locking biners lack some versatility also. But would you really want to start up with 50 locking biners?
