Flat seat ones were the original ones that were recalled due I believe to cracking from over-tightening - the later replacement ones are the taper seat type.
They're not as good as a more open wheel when it comes to brake cooling, and certainly there's been people over on 205GTiDrivers who have experienced fade running C5's that isn't there when running conventional alloy wheels. That said, you're unlikely to see an issue on the road unless you're driving like an idiot.
You ideally do need the correct taper seat bolts with a washer, but the washer-less ones found on just about every steel wheel on a 80's or 90's PSA small/medium car will work providing that you're careful not to over-tighten them.
