wing plan form

I have a question about tapered wing plan forms. Assume a tapered plan form
is required for some reason & only straight leading & trailing edges are
practical. Is there an aerodynamic advantage to having all the taper in the
leading
edge (I.E., the T.E. is perpendicular to the motor stick) or can both the
L.E.
& T.E. be angled equal amounts to produce the same total amount of taper
without compromising the aerodynamics?
