How does everyone feel about Absolute Flash

I just read Absolute Flash Vol 1 yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it, I'm not massively familiar with Wally West in the main universe nor do I have any knowledge of the Absolute titles so this has been such a fun blind read.

Should i buy paperbacks or omnibuses

So I'm kinda new to comics, I've watched the flash tv show and I'm kinda into the comics now and wanna know more of his story.

I've searched online and i see many ppl praise Geoff's run and Waid's run,and i noticed ppl said buying omnibuses are the best choice,but i found out there's paperbacks and omnibuses. I do know how they work but i don't know do they have same and as much content,for example let's say i wanna buy Geoff's run, there's 6 paperbacks and 3 omnibuses,do they share the same amount of story? If they do,which one is better (as in convenient to carry around or read or simply easier to find or saves more money)

Also what runs you think i should pick up as a new fan? Should i buy the silver ages or the newer stories?

Here's what i know:

Flashpoint

Crisis on infinite earths

Death of iris west

New 52 flash

Flash rebirth

The OTHER Earth 2

While we were all having so much fun in the midst of Rebirth and the New York 52 I feel we may have left some friends behind. Here’s a video discussing some of those friends, including The Flash!

Lightning strikes twice

Barry has always been my favorite speedster. It’s so great to see his return.

Flash and Green Lantern Rings commission from Comic Con Revolution by me

I wonder if the reason Williamson never tried to retcon Jai's powers to connect him with the other forces (thankfully, the other forces are lame in my opinion,Jai is much cooler being a more eccentric conduit for the Speed Force) is because he considered Jai a speedster,

And also, the few times Jai uses his powers, when Williamson writes it seems like he has super speed, it's just one time in the finish line, there's an explanation,In the Flash War flashback, Wally wanted to make the twins run to analyze their powers. In Finish Line, it's the only one that has an explanation. In Flash Forward, it's shown that Irey shared his speed with Jai. In Dark Crisis, when Jai regained his powers, Williamson made him run alongside the Flash family in a cameo.

Wally West, The Flash WIP

First coat of paint and varnish down!

Just got a couple touch ups and probably a good matte coating, then he's ready to run with the big leagues!!! So happy with how he's turning out!

Only real problem I'm having is that now the revoltech pieces are even weaker then when I first got him. Wondering how to keep him together better

Does Mark Waid hate Barry Allen?

When I read the Afterword [#79], I was a bit shocked that a writer who wants to write about The Flash is angry when fans and the like ask him about Barry. Who gets angry about that? And what does he mean when he says he doesn't want to cheapen his death? How many characters have died and come back in the comics? Some questions started coming to mind, but they were just that; questions, until I was reading #92 and found out what he had done to Iris.

That's like making Lois Lane a human spy for the Green Lanterns corps, but without a ring and for no reason. Why is Iris from the 30th century? Why didn't she take her grandchildren to the past when Barry was alive? He's never seen them, plus Barry already has training in training an arrogant young speedster.

Edit: 😭😭😭I get the point now. I didn't have the full context as to why he hated the question about Barry. And I know now he's not the one who came up with Iris being from the 30th century. I didn't claim that he hates Barry, it was just a question, but I probably should have worded it better.
