Clay liner will outlast 2 lifetimes.
Full flex liner will perforate from condensing acidic gases and adhering fly ash, besides the cost to replace, corroding flex liner will also poses a danger if left to crumble and collapse in which can create a restriction or even a blockage which both would cause carbon monoxide to back up in the house.
This isn't wood and it's creosote, were talking acids strong enough to rot stainless steel.
