I was just playing <3. I had the same thought regarding flange size/stiffness and ordered a set of Macks with low flange front and high in the rear. Still going strong after 8 years, they’re quality hubs but it seams to be hit and miss sometimes as I guess you’ve read online. I doubt I would have noticed a difference in stiffness having chosen a matching set of lows tbh.
Regarding your BMX, that makes two of us. I still regret not buying it when you posted it for sale.

Haha I know ;)
My only thoughts were that spoke count will be dropping to 24h so whether or not a larger flange will help stiffen things up.
Also decided to go Phil Wood Pro rear hub, always wanted one ;) Think I'll go low flange and see what happens..
Ha I have regrets selling anything BMW related these days!

They're amazing, no matter what they look like. Done me for years of thrashing. If Zipp and Mack live up to them they'll do well ;)
Now the decision is low or high flange rear. Low looks better as it's the same as the front. High flange reduces spoke length (minimally) so could help with stiffness.. Life is tough.. T
