I'd say a rectangle with circular ends... this way it has the best of both  :D 

flat long surface for easy reflections and circular ends to somewhat "guide" the ball tawards that last left brick by having an angle of reflection changed.

you use circle collision detection to determine if ball hits circular ends or not, then use technique described in making a pool game tutorial to calculate at which angle it should reflect.
