you are more likely to hit the nosewheel first
SSR,

I assume you wrote this because you thought that by going faster you'd have a lower body angle. However, assuming you are flying at the correct speed for your flap setting, you will have a lower body angle with greater flap settings and I would have thought that would increase (very slightly) the chance of doinking the nosewheel first, as opposed to less flap.
