Either way, you get used to whatever you're flying but I would always prefer a HUD.

And it can definitely make for better landings, the Flight Path Marker really simplifies things. Your comment about FLIR makes me think you fly helos. Does your HUD display in your helmet, or is there also one mounted above the glareshield?
