I didn't vote because it depends HOW the recessed or flush screen is implemented.
Lighting: not a factor, depends on "light pipe" design. Recessed isn't a problem with ambient light shadow unless there is no margin. The active screen might not be part of a flush surface.
Fingerprints: not a factor, depends on surface type and if there are also buttons.
Dust: depends on the design of the recessed screen, certainly an issue on models were the front bezel is held on by double sided tape, but it doesn't need to be.
Screen surface finish, resolution, contrast, size and overall ergonomics are more important than surface vs recessed.
