Half round or half oval. The diameter and size will depend on how it will sit on the plate and the resulting length of the duplex and the deflection angle. A picture might be helpful for suggestions.

I'd ask about the length of the front duplex, but my eyes might roll back into my head while I was trying to understand the explanation. I get the part about deflection (an easy concept for me to grasp). If it's not the hardness, why would it be OK for a while and then become a problem? (twice!) I will also do what David Love suggested with the half-round. Thanks everyone.
