Use flat project rates but give the client a nicely designed rate card when you initially have contact with them (which either shows sample hourly rates that you use for bidding/quoting or sample project costs if you have them itemized), and give them a few sample estimates for projects that you've done in the past. This way they know what they're working with. Otherwise your high hourly rate might seem like you're charging attorney rates when in fact you charge a lot because you know your shit like the back of your hand. Like gramme said, clients only give a shit if it's within budget. Hourly rates are easier initially, but project rates save a lot of time and headaches in the end -- for you and the client.
