The chance of having flush over flush should be rarer than set over set, because you get flushes less often than sets. I haven't done the maths on this, I'm just thinking this is the case from an intuitive standpoint.
This may be misleading. In a vacuum, flush over flush may well be more rare than set over set. However situations where we are considering possiblility of flush over flush occur
given that there are 3 of the same suit are already present on the board We are now dealing with a conditional probability:
probability of flush over flush - given that 3 of same suit is present on board. Imo this is more likely than an analagous spot where we are considering set over set.
Having said that there may be run outs where flush over flush will be less likely and we need to decide by counting combos but on average I believe flush over flush has more combos than set over set.
