With a front hinged flipper you need to get under youre opponents robot more for a flip to be effective. But if you do, you already have the opponent in the air, making the flip al the more usefull. The flipper trajetory is better for rolling the opponent over as well.

But as a rule id prefer a back hinged flipper over a front hinged one. Robots like Taurus, Firestorm and Mute prove that a front hinged one is not a bad thing though. And having seen what Taurus can do now that they run on 36V instead of 24V that they were on i can say its a good robot with loads of pushing power too.
