TD/flares/padding/defender items use the same slot and there is a surcharge for enchanting TD boosters through premium points. The extra cost is (2*TD bonus)*100, similar to how the surcharge for enchanting padded/weighted items is calculated. Only the base enchant can be boosted, not the TD bonus.
For defender items, the defender bonus should be treated the same as TD as far as calculating the cost. The defender bonus prevents flares from being added.
