Downleg boosters have a slight Z shaped bend in the mounting arm, so they sit a little lower in the carb and get a stronger vacuum signal. Annular boosters have discharge holes arrainged in a circle, instead of just one discharge hole. Either are considered to give a stronger vacuum signal than the regular straight-leg boosters.

vacuum signal strength:
straight < downleg < annular
