On a more serious point he really wasn,t the one who chose the shape. When the rings were being made by the elves he was pretending to be there just to help them with their labours. Sauron would of sounnded kinda supicous if he suggestd to the elves that they should make their peacefull magical artifacts in the shape of weapons. When he made the one ring he decieded that a ring should be used to control all the other rings. Sounds logical right.
