What to buy?

I have been looking into either the flagstaff 21fkhw, or the rockwood 215hw. Any advice on which is a better buy?

Flagstaff and Rockwood are twin brands.
No difference between them, other than outside decals and interior decor colors/patterns.
Built on the same assembly line.

YUP. I don't remember for sure, but FR may be building both on the same day, by the same people - first a Flagstaff, then a couple of Rockwoods...
But generally, you shouldn't be able to get both from the same dealer.

Flagstaff doesn't have as many dealers as does Rockwood. So there are fewer Flagstaffs running down the road.

So find a dealer for each (assuming you don't have a preference on the interior color scheme) and play them for the best price.

I remember quite vividly going to a Ford dealer with my dad around 1970 and they had a midsize with Mercury badging on one side (Montery I believe) and Ford on the other (Torino?).

Not trying to hijack, just emphasizing masproduction reality.

We just upgraded to Flagstaff 21FBRS and love it. Camped two nights and took back for minor fix it list. Can’t wait to take it out again hopefully this weekend! We loved the a frame but this one seemed far easier to set up, tear down. And it’s got literally all the comforts of home. Just pick the floor plan you like best. It’s a matter of opinion really.
