I love the flat so much I haven't given the ccs a fair shot. So far almost always used the flat except when I ran out on a pad type once and threw a ccs on there.
Try one of each and do a write up.
I've used both. Flat pads without a doubt. Only time I ever break into my CCS pad's drawer is when I've ran out of flat pads and don't have time to use the pad washer. In other words, never.
