Unless you will be flying from very short runways, lift producing 
flaps are not necessary.  However, drag for the landing approach is 
critical , IMHO.  If you want flaps, build them to produce drag also 
for the landing approach.  A simple speed brake will suffice for 
drag.  There really is no need to try to combine the two unless you 
are looking for an aeronautical / mechanical challenge.  600 hour 
with speed brake only.
