Other than maximizing grow space, is there any advantage or disadvantage between using square fabric pots as opposed to round fabric pots? I'd be looking at pots sized 5 gallons or smaller.

I belive just the opposite. Round seems to root bound faster than square. In the square pots roots seem to hit the wall and turn back in, sometimes splitting into multiple roots, where the round pots they just swirl around the edges. I always see more root mass in square pots. Plus square pots hold more medium and package better in a grow area, imho.
