A curved barbell is the most common form of rook jewelry. Also used is a circular barbell, also called a horseshoe barbell. I recommend getting your rook pierced with a curved barbell because it does not move as much which leads to a smaller risk of infection. While getting a circular barbell may seem ideal, because it theoretically leaves room for swelling, it actually causes more infection because by sliding around it drags bacteria in and out of your ear. Also, piercers generally will place a longer curved barbell in a new piercing to allow for swelling room, so swelling shouldn't be a factor in determining which type of jewelry to use for the healing time.
Once your piercing is all healed, any type of jewelry mentioned already would be perfect and it's up to the wearer when healing is all complete.
Hope this helps!

Does a rook piercing rejects?
No rook or any cartilage piercing for that matter will not reject or migrate because it's held in place by the cartilage it self. It will get annoyed and cranky if you are using aftercare products that are reacting to your body. So stop using all the woo woo magic stuff and just flush the piercing with lots of warm water daily and see if the piercing settles down. If it does then you were reacting to the aftercare stuff and the mystery is solved.
