Is there a flex duct that is supposed to be resistant to mold growth?

Mold will grow on any surface that collects dust and is near 100%RH for a day or two. Regards TB

Don't fall for the marketing gimmicks about mold resistent flex duct. All flex duct is made from polyester and the one of the UL 181 tests for flex duct is mold growth. No inner core of flex duct can grow mold growth in order to pass the test. Thus, all flex duct doesn't grow mold.

NOW, if you have moisture sitting in the flex duct, there is nothing that will inhibit the mold growth.

I would recommend, ATCO, www.atcoflex.com, they are by far 3 times the size of any other flex company and have been around longer than any other flex company.
