I've used chrome plated flat wounds on piezo-amped fretted instruments. Cuts way down on annoying string noise. Just don't expect to be doing any serious string bending...

Downside to flat wound strings is tension...more required for flats vs rounds. So neck needs to be able to deal with that.

Flat wound strings sound fine, the biggest advantage is less finger noise. Frugality being the watchword I normally use good round wound strings on my builds unless someone asks for flats.
