Mostly, my answer to variants of this question (which I've been asking myself at intervals since I was seven) tells me a lot about my current state of mind.
Right now, I'd pick flight. Not so much for practical purposes -- it's not clear to me that flying to the supermarket is more efficient than walking there, and in any case I'd rather drive if I'm going shopping -- but for the potential upside.
Pretty much the first thing I'd do is go on national TV and announce that I'm looking for proposals from researchers interested in studying antigravity, go to www.icanfly.com for details.
That said, on the days that I'd pick invisibility, it's because I'm feeling alienated and want to spy on everything with impunity. (Though usually I go with telepathy on those days instead.)
