The only drawback I can think of about a high-flange vs a low-flange, is the extra weight, if you're really all that worried about it.
In the 60's it was High Flange Campagnolo.
later 60's and 70's the pros migrated to low flange. And so did the market.
I have plenty of both, I really don't think there is much of a difference.
But if you want to be really cool, have a low flange front and a Hi-Lo rear. Allegedly for better spoke angle. But I just classify them as cool. In a very Euro-Asia Imports kind of way, as they imported 500 sets way back.
