What is the preferred type for blackfishing,flat or bank sinkers ?

I've seen both used, but I prefer the flats. The flats don't roll around and help keep your bait still on the bottom but like I said, it's just my preference.

Flat

...a point of interest...in Rhode Island many on the party boats paint their sinkers red. When asked I received two responses; it attracts the tog the other the tog don't see red under water it is a camouflage.

Funny story guy borrowed his wife's nail polish painted sinkers on boat and did not let them dry and messed up the boat...mates were mad....

Flats win. I have hammered down bank sinkers to make them less rollie pollie.

Now that's a good idea. If you make sinkers you won't need a flat bank mold.
