Depending on the application they make different shapes on top of the piston, domed is the one I've most commonly heard of... as far as better I think it all depends on application

For a naturally aspirated motor you'd want a domed piston. For a motor seeing boost you'd want a dished piston. Most motors come with cast pistons from the factory. Almost all aftermarket pistons are forged.

domed vs. dished is mostly to adjust the compression ratio. Domed = higher compression = good for NA. Dished = low CR = good for boost.
