Unless it's ancient, flash will by far outperform that old of an HDD, probably last longer, and definitely use less power. Unless pfSense has some install-time logic I was unaware of, how will it know you're using a flash-based disk unless you tell it? :-D
Wear-leveling and MTBF have gotten so astronomical in flash recently, IMHO you would be hard-pressed to kill a good industrial module in the time it would take to kill an HDD. I say don't worry about uploading the embedded firmware (as you state below) and just go with the regular install. If you're doing a bunch of logging, you may want to look at remote logging, but otherwise I don't think you're going to hurt the flash. What manufacturer/part # is it?
