I like the
round ones, as they can be feathered, but whatever.

I'll second that and add a couple of other reasons:

The U-shaped locks are dangerous if someone falls on them, and they
can allow the oars to escape at inopportune moments.

The "captive pin" oarlocks weaken the oar and prevent feathering.
