I have the opportunity to get a Nexus 5 that was on T-Mobile. Is it possible to activate it on Sprint. I'm not familiar with phones with dual bands therefore I don't know it it has to be an Official Sprint Nexus 5 to be activated on it.......Or, even better, can I flash it to Boost Mobile or is the T-mobile version strictly GSM?

Yes, you can activate the phone on any carrier. You'll need a LTE Sim card from sprint to activate it with them. There's no differences with the phones on any carrier

Thanks for the input, I'm not familiar with the LTE Sim but what would I do about the LTE Sim if I want it on Boost Mobile?

    Actually sprint may work. I'd ask them first though
