It's a personal choice I guess but I think the round hood looks perfect and importantly does a good job of keeping light off the front element and protecting the lens generally.
Not about sexy for me at all. My (perhaps limited) understanding was that rectangular hoods were more effective when compared with round hoods of equal length.
I found an old Exakta square hood from the sixties wih a 49mm threaded so screws straight to a 3rd party adapter for the X100. Paid £9 on ebay , re-sprayed it with matt black paint had a few chips also look for Voigtlander hoods also 49mm go real retro get an original metal hood.
