Have been flat towing for a number of years, and would not consider anything else. Others have other opinions, and their reasons. In our case, we are towing a 2011 HHR with a blue Ox towbar, and it takes us less than a minute to either hitch up, or unhitch. And we do not have to worry about what to do with a trailer or dolly. Preping the HHR consists of removing only one fuse, located inside the passenger compartment, and within easy reach from the drivers seat. However, it is becoming much more difficult to find a vehicle that can be flat-towed any more. As far as towing, behind our small class A, I have to watch the rear camera to even know if it is there. But yes, it does taka a bit more to tow it, and without an extra braking system, it will tend to push us a bit.
