Does the shape of the bottle used to bottle condition make any difference with how the beer conditions or carbonated? Or is 12 ounces 12 ounces, whether the bottle is short and stout or tall and skinny?

Same question for the yeast collected at the bottom. Is one shape better for yeast-free pouring than another?

Asking because I have more than enough bottles of many shapes and configuration and wondering I'd I should keep some and pitch others.

Thoughts?
 
I have used Sam Adams long necks and Red Hook short necks. I find the Red Hook bottles are easier to pour without disturbing the yeast and the Sam Adams bottles are more aesthetically pleaasing. I have one bottle that looks like a mini-wine bottle that is my favorite.
