Here is some interesting data from NASA http://www.nasa.gov/centers/dryden/pdf/88628main_H-2283.pdf
It is somewhat technical - but interesting just the same.
Basically, with a big brick, curving the edges and tapering the rear has the most impact without a radical shape change.
I'd think that C would be the most efficient - but the difference would be so very minor it wouldn't matter in the real world.
A smooth top and a Kamm back or boat-tail would have the most impact.
