I've certainly run more shelf shielded flux core than gas shielded. Spending a lifetime as a construction structural welder it's not often you get the opportunity to run gas shielded. When construction would hit a slow stretch I'd head to the Fab shops, way less money, but it was a job. That is where I ran a lot of gas shielded flux core. They both have there place, as any process does. For heavy sections I'd choose gas shielded flux core over self shielded any day. You have the best of both worlds, flux and gas. The deposit rates for gas shielded flux core are far superior to self shielded.
But in repairing a thin wall air tank, hydraulic line / tank, or high pressure fuel lines, I'd go with Tig. At least for the root and hot pass. Depending on the wall thickness, and volume of the product being repaired I might go with SMAW, or wire feed.
