Just picked up some nice flank steaks and this will be my first time cooking them. Trying to decide whether to do a reverse sear or put them in the smoker. Any thoughts?

Seems to me flank steak calls for a hot & fast grill method, cook to medium rare. It can get REALLY tough. Make sure to slice across the grain.
However, I could be wrong.

When in doubt, consult Meathead . Don’t ever forget the free side. Be sure to watch the video at the end.

I alternate between skirt and flank, depending on what is cheaper or what I'm in the mood for.
I've always done them hot and fast, flipping often and checking the temp often. I can't think of a reason you couldn't smoke them, other than not getting a crust.
These things are often thin enough that if you do a reverse sear, you're probably already pretty close to 120 F already.
And remember to slice against the grain. I tend for forget this every fifth steak or so lol.
