I do agree that having more than one flash plugin can have issues, but even singly the crashes were there.  There were some combos that were better in some ways but in the end, the one that kept the most important things going was the plain adobe flash dropped into the plugins folder.  It however had a large number things that made it crash and what pains me is the list is growing.
