The choice depends on what you want. At least before FSX, rule of thumb said that FS is the button-pushing simulator (meaning it has the better high fidelty cockpit modules available in form of addons showing that with great complexity), while X-P had the better flight models in creating the better experience of actually flying a plane in a dynamic airstream. But the best in the latter regard is neither FS nor X-P, but Condor. And the best radar simulation you do not get in FS or X-P, but Falcon 4.
