Flip tops are too easy to open accidentally in a crash unless they are safety wired shut.

I don't know what is best but we used a screw cap when we built our aluminum tank.

A good feature is to have the opening big enough so you can see the fuel level when the tank gets close to full.  The screw top, as said earlier, is safest.  It will not flip open.
