I use mostly Macs and frankly, have not had Flash issues at all. I don't even notice or worry if something has Flash or not. At one point I had some problems (but actually mostly with Java), which were caused by a previous version of Safari, but since I've switched to Firefox, I haven't had any issues.
If you look at CPU/memory numbers, then yes, Flash is resource hungry, particularly in Safari. But on any modern Mac, you'd never know it in regular use.
The Mac Book Pros (new ones coming out shortly) and the desktops are really well-built and great machines. And if you have to, you can run all the other major OSs natively on them as well
