Default Curved v. Straight Sided Speaker Cones

When servicing Radios and Radiograms, my Father would always show me the curved cone drive units he came across - extolling their superiority. "Boy", he would say, "Look here, this one has got a Parabolic Cone!". I guess since then, I've always seem to show more interest in curved sones believing that they have less break up and can sound more omni-dispersant. But I do recognise that they act less like Pistons in driving the sound waves. Even so, on a blindfold test, I might not be able to tell the difference. Without going into too much Audiophoolery, I wonder what honourable Member's views are?
