A kidney shape or other "free form" pool shape is gorgeous, but many components costs 2 to 3 times as much for these pools. Meyco or Loop-Loc winter covers can be purchased for $350 to $400 to fit common sizes of rectangular pools. These same covers are nearly $1,200 when custom fitted to a free-form shape.
Same for aluminum pool coping. Straight lengths are much cheaper than custom bent pieces, and the number of craftspeople who can perform the bending is limited too - I got burned by one guy's vacation last year as he was the only one employed by a major coping supplier who was qualified to do the bending!. Ditto for cost and lead time when buying a replacement liner.
If you have the space to install a rectangular pool without its square lines making your yard and landscaping look "boxy", go with rectangular and enjoy the dollar savings. Incorporate artful curves elsewhere in your yard.
