Default Control surface trailing edges

What is the current thinking on control surface trailing edges? Traditional thought was they should taper down to knife edge. In reality I always put some type of full radius on the tapered edges because of the ease of damaging small fine edges. However, my FuntanaS .40 3D, has rounded leading edges and squared trailing edges. Does this help alleviate flutter, or is there some other reason for this?
