What is the best circuits for flashing lights with repeaters ? I've seen old school way with redstone but now with the repeaters, how to do it right ?

I'm not necessarily sure that it is the most space-effective solution, but it's probably the method for making it look the nicest, and it's certainly the easiest: Run two wires; one each way.
Edit: As a side note; if the stations are too far away from one another, what you are planning won't work in any case; and building a rail in that fashion requires a lot of boosters. (Depending on your need for speed a rail traversable by unoccupied or freight carts requires 5-10 times as many booster tracks as one for PAX transport.)
Unless this is an automated freight line a more practical and resource-friendly approach is probably to have a couple of extra minecarts in a chest at each station.
Redstone state is not saved when a chunk unloads, however entity state is. This means minecarts will continue to move when a chunk is reloaded. This in turn means if you replace your redstone clock generators with minecart based clock generators, they'll resume ticking when a chunk is reloaded. Here's the most basic Minecart ticker:
You can adjust the lengths of track to get the length of tick you require, and you can combine with other tickers outputs ANDed together to fine tune the length of the tick.

With Redstone, there isn't really a right or wrong way to do anything. Here is one simple technique you can use to create flashing lights.
In this image, the part of the circuit at the bottom is known as a clock. It switches the Redstone Torch connected to the block from the on and off position. When the torch is off, no power is sent to the repeaters. This allows the torch to turn on. Then, the "on signal" travels through the repeaters and turns off the torch. This pattern repeats infinitely.
The signal is then sent to the repeaters in the hole I made. When power is sent through the repeaters, the block in front of them becomes "powered". This turns off the Redstone Torches mounted on each of those blocks, and in turn, alternates the Redstone Torches on the surface on and off.
