I don't really remember the other options, but this one is definitely unique looking. I kind of like it from the street side, but it looks kind of bland from the bay.
Regarding flags, I agree with SDCAL that they tend to make the buildings they sit on look a lot shorter. There's no real context as to how large those flags are (and the one on One Columbia Place is big!), so design-wise, I see your point. I never really thought whether there were too many of them or not downtown though. New buildings certainly don't have them, so they seem like a relic of pre-1990s downtown. As San Diego grows, I think they're actually adding to the diversity of the skyline.
I do love flags though. I actually like how Mexico puts ridiculously large flags in their cities. I don't think we should go that big here in San Diego, but a nice trio of large, US, California, and San Diego flags would be pretty cool somewhere downtown.
Bonus pic of Tijuana's cool flag with the SD skyline in the distance:
