I stick to one advanced aircraft for months. I don't have the time or patience to learn them all. I usually just fly one full "realistic" flight per week, on saturday or sunday.

I'm currently killing time with the Skysim DC-9 while waiting for the Milviz B737-200 to be updated for P3Dv4. It is my favorite advanced aircraft for P3D as I don't like glass cockpits. With cargo versions of these I can fly anywhere and keep life interesting.  

The rest of the time I just have fun with whatever aircraft I fancy. My favorite aircraft in the sim is the Robinson R22 (although I wish it had more realistic systems so one could at elast fly it according to real life procedures). Lack of realistic flight model doesn't bother me - I think it's great fun anyway.

pmdg and Boeing. Smoother transition means no need for countless hours of learning totally different systems = more time flying

I go on flightaware.com and find a route that I have scenery for and uses an aircraft I have for P3D, 80% it normally ends up being 737/320.

 

I fly that route one way and never do the return, just move on to the next one.

I cycle through three groups: GA, charter/business aviation and scheduled. I stick with one type until I have the feeling I know normal procedures well enough, which usually takes weeks, sometimes months.

I always start a new flight from where I landed the last flight.  I then plan the next flight from there, which usually is from 50 miles to 500.  The length of the flight determines the aircraft. Anything under 200 miles I rotate between the A2A GA planes. Anything over that I fly A2A's Connie or the Xtreme Prototypes Lear. I've got others in my hangar from Carenado and Milviz, but I usually pick from the A2A's.  Never fly 737's, etc., because props work better with the Buttkicker and Opus's program for it,  and I never got past my fixation on steam gauges.

I currently cycle through four aircraft (PMDG 737-600, 747-400 BCF, 777F, and the QW Avro RJ70) on very short haul flights around the UK and Ireland. To be more accurate, the 777F has only just been added to the list, and first flight is currently scheduled for the end of the week.

Recently I jumped into my Piston Duke and made a big journey along Australian Eastern Coast from Cairns to Essendon/Moorrabbin with stops at all my FTX airports. I learned a lot about a/c procedures and much more about how to use the F1 GTN 750. Then i took the way back at another day and other weather conditions. It was a great experience and I am now quite familiar with GTN 750.

I currently rotate through 3 biz jets, always start from where they are left. The CX is heading across the pond and down to South America, the LJ25D doing a circuit of Africa and the Mustang looping around Europe at the moment!

Sometimes I fly where I last left off, but not always.  Really both of your poll choices could apply to me.  It doesn't have to be either/or.

If I can't decide where to fly, sometimes I go to onlineflightplanner.org and pick out someone else's flight.

Been doing some FedEx milkruns lately in the PMDG 777F, since I bought KMEM.
