George,

Overall, I prefer flexible hulls, but some of that is due to the skin, not
the frame. My aluminum frame folders are quite flexible at times, and the
inflatable / folders even more so. My wood frame SOF's flex, but not as much.

Then again, I like strippers and S&G's, and they don't flex much, if at all.
Flex is just not something I think about...it just happens or it doesn't.
