Oh, no one has mentioned using full flowers!

If I was using flowers, I would use my hop sock or my kettle falsie with out doubt...

Flowers: Nothing a whirlpool can do about them IMO, they are gonna block your tap, unless you sock or false bottom...
I actually prefer using whole hop flowers, because they help to filter the trub, I have a slotted copper pickup pipe and the whole hops make a great additional filter - I'd use them all the time if I could.
 
hop flowers w/ seeds + siphon = disaster. Or so I've found.
 
I actually really like whole hops, I'm with Wolfy, i find that they really help hold the break together to get a clearer wort. If i could afford it i would use whole hops everytime! Lately i've been throwing in a few grams of POR flowers into every batch to hold everything together, its the only flower hop that is somewhat affordable!
 
My hops go in for a nude swim, and I find they whirlpool no problems.
