Thanks a lot. A lot of very good ideas.

Fixed limit only gives you and the other players 'protection' from the donkeys that just love to go all-in every other hand. With fixed-limit at your side, you pretty much can not lose all your chips/money in one hand..unless you're already low in chips/funds; on the negative side to fixed-limit, if you have a really good hand (AA, AK, KK, etc), you can only bet the fixed-limit.
I feel like FL makes luck a bigger factor rather than having the crucial decisions in NL
If you are playing multiple tables at the same time, I would go NL. with FL, you really need to be getting a good read on your opponents to get some money and it's not as easy to take advantage of the fish. NL is much more straightforward (and the fish are readily identifiable)
I used to play 5/10 and 10/20 FLHE regularly and made great money. You'd be surprised at how stupid some people could be!
