There are some fitting that assume the round module. The merc cruiser comes to mind immediately. And the lab ship as well. 

I can see for LASH operations , the square module would make more sense

The standard cutter module is a cylinder, given as 15m long and 6m
diameter, for a displacement of 30dT. However, because of the shape, less
than the full 30dT is usable.

What are the ramifications of building a module with cutter-compatible
fittings, but square in cross-section, 6m wide, 6m high, and 15m long, for
a total (and usable) volume of 40dT?
