Mid sleeves VS Flanged Sleeves.... whats the difference
A local company can do flanged sleeves for a decent price, but cannot do mid sleeves...
Im wondering if i should send my block away for mid sleeves, or just go with the local flanged sleeves....
what are the pros and cons of both
any help would be appreciated..

There's a bit more to it than just that. Anyways, MID's are difficult to install and are only recommended to be installed by shops with ton of experience.

Unless your goal is 800whp, 10k+ rpm, and a stroked crank, I doubt that the design will have much bearing on keeping the motor together. If a well-tuned, good condition b16 can make 600+ whp remaining 100% stock w/o shattering a sleeve (instead broke ringlands, still boosted IIRC), then I can't see ductile iron thats 2x as thick causing a problem.
Just treat it like its your mom's block, not like your ex-gf's daily driver, and it will be fine.
