I am not sure that the flavor makes any difference when using a PEG, but I didn't use a PEG so there you have it. PEG users can correct me on this.
I did try Boost and it gagged me so I went to Carnation Instant Breakfast fortified with Hagan Daz. I lost weight (a LOT of weight actually - I can still wear a 29" waist size [down from 34"])but at least I am still alive to tell about it.
