So would I be correct to assume that flows are done individually by each pilot then they would 'double check' together using the checklist?

Yes. You are correct.

I designed all the checklists for our Part 91 Dept. We use some challenge response items and some flows. We DO NOT use memory items solely...example, we do the line-ups by memory and then ALWAYS use the 'check' list to make sure you got them all. That is what it is for. There are always really important things on the checklist, we use bold and color to be sure to do them. There are typically 3 or more on any turbine aircraft. We call them the 'killer items.' On the Sabre 65 they are Spoilers, Trims, Flaps on takeoff and 3-green, Hydraulic Pressure, Anti-skid, Yaw Damp, on landing (yes you can land the Sabre with the flaps up really easily but this isn't always the case.) If you forget anything else, you won't die, but if you forget those, you just might.

DON'T ever put items in RED. As it is much harder for your eye to see. Put them in bold, underline or otherwise. Just a few hints.

For us, flows are important and certain aircraft have a better 'flow' than others. The Sabre has a nice flow where the Lear 35/55 did not.

That's my $.02 Take it or leave it.
