Default round or sharp edge on wing leading edge?

You dont want to have a sharp leading edge, because then the wing will want to chop through the air, and not fly smoothly. When the leading edge is pointed it has a greater tendency to want to hunt its way throught the air. what i mean by this is that it will be flying one direction, and then a change in the air will cause it to move in a different direction very rapidy, and not smoothly like if it were round.
