Any type of mallet can be used, but the specific task at hand determines the preferred type. For general stock removal, as in cutting mortises or shaping, a simple block style is fine.
But when doing detailed carving, a better choice is a mallet that has a tapered round head with the handle through the rotational center. In a sectional view, it looks like a trapezoid with the handle inserted in the smaller of the parallel sides. The advantage of this, over a plain block mallet, is that the carver can strike the chisel without concern about the mallet orientation: any part of the mallet works as well as another. Also, by striking on a part of the head nearer or farther from the handle, the carver has more control of the striking force.
