Are Flatwounds better for frets?

Flatwound strings tend to have a darker tone that emphasizes the note fundamental, with limited harmonic content compared to roundwound strings. Another big advantage to many players is their smoother playing feel, which can be easier on the fingertips, not to mention your fingerboard and frets.
