Depends on what you are using it for. The one that is more hooked on the end tends to be better for pulling or sliding logs and the straight one is better for picking up rounds. Just my 2 cents
I prefer a small end like on the LogRite. Small and has a slight 'hook' to aid with picking up or sliding rounds.
That said, anyone who works around firewood and does not have a pickeroon of some type is handicapping themselves.

Just get both styles. Do yo have just one chainsaw, axe, or maul?
Seriously, I recently picked up a hookeroon and I don't know how I got by without one. This is the one I got. I use it exclusively for firewood.

I prefer this style. Cheap and easy to find.
Made it from an old hoe handle, some all thread, couple of nuts
and couple of hose clamps to keep the handle from splitting.

Looks like medieval weaponry to me. 
I have 1 or 2 of them floating around here, somewhere.

I made an 8' one similar to that except used a 'compression union' from the plumbing department crossdrilled to fit the all thread. Haven't crawled up in the bed of the truck to unload a round since. Great addition to my 36" logrite.

Looks great but I have some reservations about that handle. Looks like it would be very heavy.

Might be,, better for deeper penetration!!!
Dont want that log or round getting away!!!
That is a hollow pipe.

I thought it might be but it looked like a solid rod. Neat welding!!
Thanks!!
I have a Hobart handler 180 on gas, and an old stick, got lots of practise building my splitter last winter.
And sometimes you get the settings perfect right off the start line!!!

Looks good.. But I'm betting the weld won't hold up.. Most planer blades are the wrong material for welding..

I never hit the woods without my 36" logrite .
They are made from hss.. High speed steel.. Your pipe is mild steel.. "Dis similar metals.. " Brazing would be your best bet of joining the two.
