Flexible, mode means whatever method you use to access your website it will always be http:// Full mode means if you request for http it will send the website response with http, if you request with https it will respond with https, although it won't verify the ssl certificate. Strict mode, it does the same as full mode, except it validates the https connection

So do you recommend flexible mode to get SSL certificate?

All modes are highly insecure because that's a MITM. Besides that I recommend using Full Strict. The difference is that flexible doesn't provide encryption on one half to the server whereas full provides encryption on both sides.
