There is a school of thought that there is a predisposition to get cauliflower ear that is genetic. The thickness, structure, and flexibility of your ear cartilage are large indicators in vulnerability to the skin tearing away or the cartilage breaking. I tend to agree based completely on a small sample size (the 2 gyms I train at), but I don't know 100%.
Wear comfortable, low profile head gear and you'll be protected from the impact and shearing forces that encourage cauliflower ear.
EDIT: Here are some low-profile headgear examples (in no particular order):
