Looking to book flights between islands and ATH. Since I get automatic allowance for the 23 kg checked suitcase, I should book Flex fares instead of Light or Comfort Flex fares?

Then when I check in, there shouldn't be any problems checking in my large suitcase?

Wow one fare I'm looking at, the difference between Light and Flex is about €25, which seems to be a lot to take my personal item on board. But it contains an expensive camera and some other valuable items which couldn't be checked anyways because of batteries.
Βook flex for carryon + personal item
Book comfortflex since you won't have free *A baggage on Olympic flights

Not the same

Olympic is not Star Alliance therefore no *A benefits for Olympic flights
