I've tried neither of these cuts, and curious what those who have think how they compare to each other in flavor and texture....
Flat Iron, in my mind has a almost just-like tenderloin texture and a better flavor, if it is cut like a flat-iron shape, it has a bothersome gristle in the middle. Cut like they do in Europe (what Phubar calls a Jewish filet) they are very tender and grill up great.

Hanger Steak is a great cut and works outstanding either marinated or rubbed and grilled to a rare/medium rare level. Sliced across the grain, makes for a great taco, sandwich or even just eating plain. i like to serve it with a mustard/horseradish sauce and some baguette slices.
Haven't tried hangar steak but flat iron steak is delicious.
