Which is better?

This:



or this:



In both cases, the unfamiliar symbol represents a delay. I use a Greek delta (Δ) to represent transmission line delay, and a square to represent inertial delay in equations, so I want matching circuit symbols. There aren't really any nice standard symbols, other than some quite yucky ones from the async literature that I don't really want to use for aesthetic reasons. I won't say which one I prefer, because I'd rather hear an unbiassed opinion from you lot.

I have, like, no EE experience whatsoever, so I'm not sure what people's expectations of these diagrams are ... but I *cannot* read your box-with-triangle as a single glyph, and this makes it much harder for me to understand that version of the diagram. (I have this problem with any diagram containing boxes with non-text symbols inside, especially if the non-text symbol is nearly as big as the box.)
