What's the best rear sight to use in combination with a YHM flip-up gas block/front sight? Preferably a flip-up sight as I will have a scope mounted. I plan to use either an Armalite 1-piece mount or if I can get the cash a Larue and I usually don't shoot NTCH
but close to that.

No one has the YHM flip up front sight? or an opinion as to what rear sight to get that would go with it?

I think any rear sight would go with the front sight.
The armalite one piece mounts are lower than most (1.25 to center of scope) so you may need a really low rear sight to fit under the scope.
I have a one inch armalite mount and ggg mad rear sight on the way so maybe I can give you something to go by when I get it set up.
maxicon has a great writeup/comparison that he has a link to here in the optics forum.

I would be interested in seeing the photo as I am in the market for a low-profile flip sight for my armalite 1" as well.

I'm sure there are lower profile or better made buis.  I'm going with the ggg mad because I think my eyesight needs the extra metal around the large peep.  
Right now I'm waiting on the mail for an armalite mount, buis, and 3-9x33 leupold (pretty much everything).
I'll post a picture of it here in the optics forum titled "armalite one inch mount review" when I get all the pieces.
