Hi Austin, I can really help you out with practical tips for Flex since you already seem to know more about it than me. I just played with the demos and skimmed the docs.
That being said, I really think that you should give OpenLaszlo a chance. I think the docs are done well enough and it's very easy to experiment with it. Personally, when developing RIA apps, I try to create a RESTful service in RIFE and then connect to that in the RIA app through data-binding. This cleanly separates the layers and makes it easy to develop and maintain over time. Hope this little bit of info is still useful.
