I assumed there's flying that needs to be done with the SixAxis, which clears your fingers for pressing important action buttons...why would you not want to use the SixAxis for flying anyway?

I think classic control system is much more precise. I tried sixaxis features in Motorstorm and I simply don't like it. You can steer with analog sticks (view, movements) and you have 6 buttons left for actions - I think it's more than enough.

If precision is a concern, you should definitely ditch gamepads altogether and get a mouse/keyboard. In every genre where Gamepad users have been allowed to compete against Mouse/Keyboard users, the Gamepad players have been so hilariously outmatched that most companies don't make games that are cross platform anymore for that precise reason (even though Microsoft is trying agressively). Be it First Person Shooters, Real Time Strategy, or any other skill-oriented game, Game pads are profoundly inferior. That's why such an overwhelming portion of professional gaming occurs on PC games, despite the fact that consoles are a larger player pool.

IMO, PC's are unnecessarily expensive and dated too quickly. 

 Ah, then if expense is your concern, you should definitely get a Wii. You can buy one for half the price of a PS3, and it comes with a game! In addition, the new games are 10 dollars cheaper, so you save money in the long run, as well.
