They are nearly equal in ability.
The Flatline puts a more consistent spin on the ball, but is always on and only does a backspin.
The Apex still does a good spin, but can be turned off and adjusted while playing without needing to take the barrel off.

Will a flatline barrel fit on a tippmann crossover?
It uses a5/x7 threads but it has a slanted shell and would not fit normally. However an Apex barrel will work just fine.
What is the most accurate Tippmann A-5 paintball barrel for the price and length of the barrel?
This depends on you budget, quality of paint and what job you need done. If you are close range, the stock barrel is fine. if you need long range, get an apex or flatline barrel, if you want maximum accuracy, you need a two piece barrel and paint that fits the bore perfectly.
Will apex tip fit on your regular barrel for a tipmann 98 custom?
It depends on the threads of the Apex barrel. If the threads are that of a autococker, A5, or spyder then no, it will not fit. Though if it does have Tippmann threads then by all means it will fit.
What is a bt apex barrel what does it for paintballing?
The Apex barrel is BT's upgrade to the Tippman Flatline barrel. It allows the shooter to "curve" the ball around or "dive bomb" over the top of bunkers by putting a spin on the ball. It also will allow the shooter to get extra distance out of a shot by putting a back spin on the ball. How the it works is the tip of the barrel has a ridge that gives the ball a spin like a curve ball or a spin on a ping pong ball. You can get the same effect by turning a Flatline on the side.
Is the tippmann A5 flatline good?
"Good" is a relative term. The flatline is curved in such a way that it puts backspin on the ball, causing its trajectory to be flatter, making it go farther. With this, it Also decreases accuracy slightly because it exaggerates any dented or dimpled areas on the paintball, because it is now spinning. For any Mid or Cover Player, the flatline is a great tool for increasing range. However It is not recommended for Front players or "snipers" because it decreases accuracy. A better option than the Flatline is the APEX barrel which does exactly the same job of backspin, but is adjustable in shot length (which is inversely proportional to the accuracy) and can be turned left and right for hooking shots or bunker shots (which fly down rapidly).
How far does a project salvo paintball gun go?

What are the best accessories for the tippmann 98?
The best way to increase accuracy is a new barrel with removable inserts like a custom products 2 piece. Also a HPA tank will help.

What are good tippmann A5 barrels?
For short barrel, Tippmann makes a 3 inch "smg" barrel. (this will decrease range and accuracy) For an accurate barrel, a Custom products two piece 12-14 inch are cheap and consistent barrels. (this depends on paint quality) For a light barrel, The Azodin or stiffi Carbon fiber, or Carbon wrapped barrels weigh much less than pure aluminum. (my AZ 16 weighs the same as 14 us quarters) For longer range, An Apex barrel is the most adjustable and usable. Like a flatline barrel, in creates backspin, causing the ball to go farther. It has 8 settings of spin as well as being able to rotate 360 degrees, for long shots, hook shots and drop shots. (The more you increase spin, the less accurate and fast the paintball becomes.) If you want a Milsim look, a CP tactical, or any rap4 shrouded barrel will look great.
