Taking off with flap is better. Have a look at many of your performance figures, especially for Raisbeck equipped machines and the equivalent FAR25 numbers.
Approach flap gets you airborne in less distance, but you suffer in climb performance after take-off. If it's obstacle clearance that you are after, then zero flap is a far better option and the preferred procedure for the B200.
