Epubcheck is the only one that matters, because it's:
  • The only checker actual stores (B&N, Amazon, Kobo, etc.) use.
  • It's following the actual EPUB specs.
  • It's consistently updated/maintained.

FlightCrew was just from the early days of Sigil to help:
  • validate + catch some basic errors in one-button press.
  • jump to the exact line # by double-clicking on the error.

Now that you have Doitsu's fantastic plugin, that lets you easily run epubcheck just like you used to run FlightCrew.

So:
  • If epubcheck complains, definitely take a look + fix the problem.
  • If FlightCrew complains, take a closer look. It may or may not be an actual issue.

Very simple (and correct) books, both of them will show 0 errors.

If you are using much newer (or more complicated code), FlightCrew might complain, because that type of stuff may not have existed (or been expected) way back then.

Side Note: On marking up your book's language with HTML lang + xml:lang... you can follow all the same advice given previously in:

The only thing I'd do differently now compared to back then is... capitalizing that "en-us" -> "en-US".
