What stick do you have?

4 cornered (or "square gate" - gate is the plastic plate that restricts the stick's lever movement) is generally the way to go with 2d fighters. Once you get used to it you can use it for more precision. Besides, all arcades are 4 corners, so the game's designed with that in mind. I wouldn't recommend wasting money on stuff like octagonal gate, practice makes perfect.

Ye almost all fight sticks by default come with a square gate.
I personally do better with a octagon gate because to me personally it made more sense playing with that instead of a square.
The overly vast majority of people play with the default Square gate and I can see why, I'm just a weirdo with the preference for the octagon.

But, if you're like me you can buy a different shape gate for around and about 10$.
(There's also full circle ones if you're into that)

Here's some pictures of my stick so you can see what I'm talking about:
