Mid Zone KO or Flat Zone KO on Slot Corner?

Run zone 95% of the time with Verrett in the slot. Is Mid Zone KO or Flat Zone KO better for him in a Cover 4 Quarters scheme?

I'd go flat zone, combined with deep zone for the slot. Mid and Deep for the outside CBs of course

Thanks!! You don't think Flat would be better for a Cover 2 scheme though? I feel like Mid would be better for my slot in a Cover 4 scheme. I'm still learning about zone coverages btw so sorry if a dumb question...

I run all match out of BNOG, got mid and deep out on my safeties, deep out and flat on my outside cbs, and mid zone on my slot and sublbs who play flats and stuff. Also I run as many pick artists as possible. 

I like mid zone better on my slot because he will knock out matched angle routes where you could be beaten by a step, whereas I find I'm ok giving 3 yards on a RB flat route. I also like mid zone better against people who like a lot of drive and post slant combos, as well if you play against trips sets and the slot has to match a corner route he will KO it if it was between 10-15 yards which normally where the most popular corner routes end up. Flat zone on my outside CB's prevents quick slants and outs, like if people want to spam bench combos from tight the cbs usually are able to knock them out.
