As a pilot with ~100 hours, I really dont find the flaps that big of a
nusance, but the performance increase seems to offset the complexity.

Just think of them as a giant trim tab, forward to go fast, back to go
slow...

Flaps or no? (I'll be flying mostly in Arizona, more x-country than
local.)

Flaps pro: lower stall speed during landing, some performance increase
Flaps con: additional cockpit controls complexity and pilot workload
