For typical residential flexible duct design, which do you guys feel is
the best overall design method? Is there one that you'd consider
superior to the others for the most efficient airflow?

Radial, Trunk/Branch, Spider, Perimeter Loop... ?

There is no design method but there is properly installed flex which counts.

If the person is a professional installer, he or she will know how to do the
job properly.

the typical resi install locally means cheapest method possible, which
is usually undersized spider.

it is my personal experience the trunk/branch is superior, when
installed by competent installers.
