+Natts Bab Flat main means more projected area, baggy means more power. Somewhere in between is the best. Tight outhaul means more open leech down low, loose more hooked. I think it all depends on sailors weight and wind velocity. Try to work it out with your kicker. With low wind I would go for loose kicker and a little bit tighter outhaul, Avarage wind - bit more kicker on and loose outhaul. Strong wind more vang, a little more outhaul - even twist at the leech.

Actually putting the board down gives stability during the gybe and also accelerates the boat and makes it not slip side ways so ye put it down a bit more than usual if you have time, otherwise it doesn't really matter.
