No. A blinking cursor is easier to locate and sets it apart from the
contents of the buffer.

Yes, a vertical bar (with default width). That characters are inserted
to the left of the box cursor is actually something you learn, it's not
as intuitive as the bar shape. (Still I'm not quite satisfied with the
bar cursor, read my previous post `Inverse video with bar cursor').

I prefer a blinking cursor regardless of its shape.

No, why would I?

I rarely use more than one frame and I can't see why multiple frames
with blinking cursor should affect (dis)comfort.
