If you are in an area where you are likely to run aground, a bulb is not a good idea - more surface area to get unstuck and a bigger lever on the bottom of your keel to loosen your keel bolts as you wiggle out of the muck.
Leave keel design to the naval architect (or backyard wantabee sketch artist) that designed your boat.
