I wonder if any of the clips were edited around the juicier-sounding responses.
The benefits of invisibility are obvious. There are places I have every right to be even if people would do me harm (or, more likely, hassle me) for being seen there. To hell with the consent of muggers, misogynists, and other doers-of-evil. I also think of invisibility as a way of doing many of the same things flight would allow, free travel and thievery (if necessary) among them, so obviously I don't differ from miss_chance as much on the details as on the fundamentals - I have no honor. But mostly I like the option of hanging around in public places without people bugging me.
Flying would simply be fun, and would also facilitate travel. Kickass views. Fab photos. You could make a living doing all kinds of things that would cost other people big bucks and put them at greater risk. I like the idea of being able to do dangerous things and then fly out of trouble if I fall/get rushed by a rhino/get yelled at by my mom. I don't like the idea of jokers taking potshots at me, though.
Basically, I don't trust people not to try to hurt me, and I think that it would be a great comfort to know I could steal things in a pinch if I was truly desperate. So, invisibility rather than flight. Except for the part where it turns into a sitcom, with naked bottoms and spray paint and dogs chasing me and stuff.
