The recessed bolt nose is what you will find on a Rem 700, it is part of their "3 Rings of Steel" slogan.
Defiance is one of the few top custom action makers whom I would use that still provide this option.
The flat bolt nose is what just about every top custom action maker uses when the action will be a repeater.
All of my custom actions are either Flat or Coned (coned are all on single shot competition rifles, don't really pertain to this topic).
If you like/believe the 3 rings of steel thing the go for the recessed.
If it were me, I would just get another Flat Nose Bolt.
Call the folks at Defiance, great group of people who will steer you in the right direction.
+1 on asking the people who manufacture a product
they know what works, but often offer services or options due to popularity even if it doesn't work best for their product
