The cost/size and purpose really, depends on what you need it for.

Flash drives are looked upon as temporary storage and transportation between PC's.
Because there is no mechanical parts in a flash drive, then shock hazards are reduced compared with the mechanics of a hard drive.

Hard drives are more for a permanent solution.

Preferance at the end of the end....................

baabaa mentioned size. I can put a USB flash drive on my keychain, perfect for carrying just a small document to work and back or similar uses.
