I voted flat top - but in actuality I use both. I switch between the kabuki and flat top. I usually use the flat top for the foundation and the kabuki for the finishing powder. I find that with the flat top I get a touch more coverage - but I still love my kabuki!
when i first started in mmu, i used a kabuki. but when i tried lumiere ftop, i fell in love with it. i just wish it was a little bigger. but it does reach between my eyes and the sides of my nose.

i love the flat top brushes much better than kabuki's because they give better coverage. i will use a kabuki for a primer/finishing powder or just to blend at the end. i also like using the wet application technique....it seems to last much longer!!!
I went for years only using a Kabuki for foundation application and reserving my flat top for bronzers. Once I began using the flat top for foundation application it became my hands down favorite.
I use a flat top for foundation because it gives better coverage for me, and a kabuki for primer powder and finishing powder because of the lighter application.
Personally prefer kabuki as it gives me better coverage than the flat top brush I find.. however let's not forget the AWESOMENESS of the concealer brush! (Can't live without it!!!)
I was using a Kabuki from Signature until the handle came off. So I bought a flat top to try it and I'm going back to a Kabuki. Just works better for me. Now I need to figure out which one to get.
