I've used as2patters and then moved to cairngorm for Flex. I think you will just find it very clean and simple to use. If your looking for advice on which side to choose, just try out the cairngorm flex2 sample login and I think that you will see how simple the framework makes Flex. In other words, I would use cairngorm forward on.
