Product page on HD says 72-tooth. Also, not reversible.

Can't you just turn it over to reverse?

Yep, but some people are afraid that they'll use it somewhere with limited space and back a bolt out too far and then can't get the wrench off. As long as you are cognizant of that possibility, it shouldn't be an issue.

The main advantage of reversibles is that it allows them to put a 15° offset on the ratcheting end which provides some often necessary wrench/knuckle clearance, but they're expensive.

If given a choice between flex head vs reversible, which is the better or more versatile option? I have a hard time deciding between those two.

In my opinion, skip the flex heads unless they're the locking ones, which are usually super expensive. Having a head flex on you unexpectedly is no bueno and I have scars to prove it.

The reversibles are really nice and are typically my go to wrenches.

Flex head in my opinion is more versatile. If you're breaking a fastener free somewhere where you need to use a box end wrench, you should be using a regular box end wrench first, and then switch to the ratcheting wrench.
