When setting a toilet, should the bottom of the closet flange be even with the
floor?

The toilet should be level regardless of the floor. Plaster of Paris is
often used to set it on. It dries quickly and is rock hard.

It's level. I'm wondering about the height of the floor flange.

If you mean should the flange sit on the finished flooring, yes. If
the flange is just a bit lower than the finished floor you can use a
thicker wax ring.
