I'm about to buy some hope hoops with flow rims but dont know if I should get straight pull or normal. What is the difference and how noticeable if any when riding.

Theoretically straight pull will be stiffer, stronger and lighter I think. I've got a pair of each and notice no difference. You'll have a harder job getting straight pull spokes as spares in an emergency.

Straight pull look cooler IMO. Which is the most important thing, let's be honest.

Straight pull are more difficult to true as the spokes rotate when tensioning

I've got a pair of straight hoops. Much better look if you ask me.
