Ignis for fun, Flux for usefulness. By that I mean, you will be able to carry Flux anywhere. However, if you're not doing any high level content, Ignis is better than Flux since it obliterates trash mobs and your allies / secondary can take care of the few heavies you come across.

Later on, heavies become the bulk of the units (think 15 minute diff 5 survival, t3 defense/mobile defense and wave 15+ defense) and Ignis can easily eat through 150-200 rounds per heavy. When I tell you it's abysmall against ancients, believe me, even with a catalyst and 2x forma it is still bad later on. Flux rips through infested with Shred just as easily as Ignis, but also destroys Ancients/heavies too.
