I use the softboxes by them for portraits - on light stands - excellent quality on a par with Lastolite Ezybox but at a 1/3 the cost

That particular bracket has been brought in previous threads. It would appear that the bracket allows a clockwise rotation of the camera putting the grip on the bottom. Many folks prefer the rotation to be counter clockwise, putting the grip on top. I find the latter method much more easy to control.

What more could you ask of a bracket?

I use one of these. The camera bracket works well. The only knock I have is that the flash adapter with the sync cord to the camera fits a little sloppy in the flash bracket.

I haven't used the flip bracket, but have used the softboxwith my flash and like it. Easy to set up, and does a good job.

I noticed that in the bottom image on this page (external link), the Canon DSLR is mounted in reverse to the Olympus. So in that case portrait orientation would mean shutter button on top I guess, but it looks like handling in landscape would be rather awkward... Anyone have experience?

in the picture it is just mountedbackwards. i have the bracket and i am very happy with it. wheni mount mine the button is on the bottom when i flip it. it also seems to give me better control this way when i have the 70-200 on the camera. flips up and down easily and has a screw lock so you dont accidentally flip. the "kickstand" locks it in place when you have the camera vertically.
