The coccus would be better suited for a dry environment. A sphere has less surface area for the volume, as such, less moisture will be lost by osmosis in a dry environment. In a moist environment, the higher surface area to volume ratio of a rod shaped bacterium will allow greater efficiency in transferring water and solutes into and out of the cell, making it possible for a rod shaped cell to have a higher metabolic rate, all other things being equal.
