The best answer for you would be an example. Last November I had a fairly large capital gain to deal with. One of my favorite investments was doing a PP. Half of the PP was flo thru and half was regular PP. The flo thu was at .20 and the regular was at .18. Common sense says the you should take the cheaper one. However in this case by taking the flo thru, I received a tax receipt for the amount of my investment which then allowed me to use this amount against the capital gains I had. This greatly reduces my actual cost. I also received an equal amount of warrants with this PP,which I will receive a tax receipt for if I exercise them. I still hold shares from this PP and they are still in the money after the recent series of events.
I could further expand on my strategy here but it is probably best done by PM. If you want more PM me.
