Flat VS Incline

I couldnt find anything with search about this so I made a new thread.....

IF you had only ONE movement for pressing movement , Keep in mind my routine consists of dips and overhead presses also.

would you choose incline or flat bench for your benching choice.

Im leaning towards incline due to the fact that I feel if I worked strictly with it compared to strictly with flat , my chest would probably feel firmer more all around with dips thrown in than flat bench. But if I did incline , no flat bench at all , and switched for variety eventually or because of plateaus , would there be a close correlation between the lifts , considering I wouldnt have done flat benching for quite sometime , but still incline , overhead , and dips , along with other movements.

Dips to work lower chest and triceps , incline for upperchest mainly.

Just the starter post , more indetail if need be after some replies.
 
flat bench works MORE of the chest overall....but to get that full chest look, you need a very overdeveloped upper chest. Notice how the pros have great chests, and the nipple is always near the bottom of it, pointing down most of the time.

this is from alot of incline pressing. I personally use both flat and incline...but if I only had one choice, it would be incline without a doubt.
 
Ok thanks , because Ive always responded well to overload sets , going to failure and sense im training for endurance it only makes more sense to go to failure.

Cutting down on sets would allow me to train more often and cutting to aiming for only 1 set directly for each muscle group 2-3 times a week. Seems like with how ive responded in the past would be good for me.

Im getting back into boxing and the demand for muscular endurance and cardio endurance I feel I should include in my workout.

Still set for the marines in october but thats DEP *delayed entry* but im using that as a crutch with economy how it is in a very small county. But overall my outlook in life if I could miraculously find a steady job to pay for trainer fees and my equipment to start. I feel i'd be happier training and doing tournaments.

especially with a quality gym and quality coach for low fee , who is willing to work with me and train me if I help him train other fights and help clean up the gym

hes 3x golden glove champ now , hes a regional champ , soon to become a national golden gloves champ. Ive trained with him and feel I got overall a good chance so going for it with marines as my crutch. Ive sparred people hes sparred even with the 40lb weight advantage but never sparred him. So if I get back into training hoping works out.
