Wondering what you're flushing out? Is it seriously rusted, as in red soup? Or do you just want to get all the old antifreeze out?
Never been a big fan of any flush other than water.
If it's rusty, using just about any thing other than water will likely start a radiator or freeze plug leak.
How did the freeze plug look that came out? Was there a layer of sludge inside the block? If it's that bad, now might be a good time to replace all the freeze plugs and try to get the sludge out if practical, then flush it with water.
If you're just doing a routine antifreeze change and it's not rusty, I would just flush it with water with the engine running and the radiator and block drains open. If there is a heater hose or bypass hose, take it loose so the block will flush since the thermostat will be closed.
Drain best you can, fill with 50/50 distilled water & antifreeze.
