It is uniaxial material, which means in the fiber section, the fiber with the uniaxial material
you assigned would behave exactly the path in the material model defining. Based on this, you
can understand that the parameters input to the material model should corresponds to that in
the reality. So I would say cylindrical strength would be more realistic than cubic one.
