high flange vs low flange

Hi guys.
Just wondering what is the reasoning for a high-flange vs a low-flange hub.
(and for that matter mid-flange hub)

I have a set of high-flange campy hubs for the campy bikes,
and the old sunshine high-flange front/ phil low-flange rear for japanese beater,
but just really like the looks of the large hubs.

I've been using a nice set of 90's phil hubs, more like a mid-flange hub than a low-flange, on my '73 lately,
and just started wondering what the benefits/drawbacks are.

Thanks guys.
