Jered, a curved hatch is more time-consuming, more difficult & requires a lot of care in building for it to work & seal properly. That having been said, it really isn't that bad if you think all the way through it before building. In most cases, the planning is more important than the actual build, since it's the most difficult part of things in general to think through.
It just matters to you, since it's your project, but there are a lot of different ways to build a hatch. I would urge you to look at different build journals to get ideas & then decide which one you will be making. The design process is where many mistakes can be made or avoided!
