So Express accounts are really meant to work with Destination charges: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/destination-charges. In this flow, all Stripe objects will live on the platform account. If your usecase is such that there won't be much if any overlap on the prices/products across stripe accounts, standard accounts with direct charges might make more sense

Ah I see. The tricky part here is we want to allow our Express account users to be able to have a custom checkout experience for their customers (With a custom product name relative to their business & custom price that they choose). Would we be able to create a Payment/Checkout link for their customers using a destination charge?

Yes you can

Sweet! and when creating a custom line_items.product_data (required) wouldn't this still create a new product that is housed underneath my stripe account and not the connect account? https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-line_items-price_data-product_data "Data used to generate a new product object inline." or does inline mean it's only relative to the checkout session?
