Depends on your system's strength.

Depends also on what you plan to do:

- more IFR or VFR.
- addons or not.

The weaker your system the more the slider moves towards FS2004.

The more hardware reserves you have left after installing FS, the easier you can run additional addons.

The less addons you want to run, the smaller hardware reserves you need beyond installing and running default FS.

The more VFR is important for you, or the less IFR you want, the more FSX is your choice.

-----

FS2004 is no dead software, support-wise. Many new addons for FSX still get released in FS2004 versions as well, especially scenery. Many people still refuse to jump from FS2004 to FSX. Enough people so that they still are a profitable business for producers of FS addons.
