How do I connect my iMac 27 to a USB flash drive from the front?  What is the best cable to use one of the thunderbolt connections?

I do exactly what you thinking of. I have a 1 meter USB cord that I leave off to the side hidden by my desktop tchotckes until I need it.  It works great for everything from cameras to memory stick to small hard drives.
