There's a place for both. I like the abstraction of regular tri/bicolours, and I also like the added detail of coats of arms or other emblems.

In the case of the Union Jack it doesn't really work at all, though. I think it detracts from the interesting construction of the flag.

I also don't like this Palestinian flag. The eagle looks off-center because of the triangle, but if you were to put it in the center between the triangle and the end of the flag (I'm not really familiar with flag jargon), it'd probably still look off-center. That, and the flag re-appearing in the emblem gives a bit of an annoying Droste-effect (might want to add the eagle in the emblem as well, with another flag with another eagle, with another flag...).
