I haven't used a pony bottle before but I do know a dumpy/stumpy is much more comfortable to use (although a bit more silly looking).

My bottle is not silly looking

I find the dumpy slightly easier as I don't have to be too picky about the height adjustment with my bcd. Can be a bit easier to lug around too. Can't comment on the pony bottle.

Some people (including myself) prefer tall bottles as they distribute weight further down the back. Comes in handy when you're wearing an ill-fitted drysuit!
