IDE probably... unless you have a SCSI drive of course.
Rounded? Make sure they are good quality as they are notorious for cross talk, and might slow your transfers down a little.
Unless your drives are SCSI (which is very rare these days), It's just normal IDE cables.
If you are getting rounded (Like Pand' said) make sure you get good quality ones.

The Akasa UV 166 cables are very good.
Generally CD Roms and DVD roms require the basic ATA cables and will often not work properly on ATA 133 cables

Cooler master do a very nice range with safety tabs for removing them without snapping the connectors from the cable, just be wary of the VERY VERY VERY VERY short rounded cable for the FDD version as on my motherboard it didn't make it to the FDD.
