The lowered ejection port is beneficial if shooting wadcutters or hollow points in order to allow additional room to eject. It is the "flare" on the lowered ejection port which helps keep the brass from getting dinged so badly.
The only reasons not to get a lowered, flared ejection port are (1) you want a traditional or GI looking pistol or (2) you may be wallowing the gun in the mud.
The military 1911s were renowned for working well out in the field. Part of the reason is the smaller ejection port helped keep out mud and debris. For the vast majority of us, a lowered ejection port will serve us better.
The FLGR is unimportant.
