Yep weld the flanges on and machine them afterwards.
There are also too many variables that you have not covered in your post.
If it is a utility shaft not to be run over say 2-3000 RPM max just indicate it up true BOTH WAYS and it will be perfect.
If you need high RPM or other special requirements you need to decide accordingly.
