Mixing radiator types bad?

I am going to have a 2 radiator WC system, if i use a Dtek Pro-120 heater core and add a BIX to the loop will that be worse than if i have say 2 BIX?
flow wise

Flow wise it would tend to be better with a procore than a bix. There should be no problems with mixing rads.

Put them in parallel and flow will increase. Although if one radiator is a lot more restrictive this might not work so well.
