FlightGear is the best free and open source flight simulator while X-Plane is the best one you have to pay for. X-Plane is in my opinion better because it has much better aircraft and a lot more of them. Plus you can actually change all the settings from inside the simulator without having to restart using different command line parameters. ;) On top of that it has much better scenery... bla bla.
But if you're looking for something free, and harder to use, it's FlightGear. And that's just an end users point of view. As a developer I would choose FGFS over X-Plane, but as a pilot who's not a computer geek I would choose X-Plane as well. This is just the plain truth and I don't intend to start bashing FGFS.
