I have planes with both flaps and flaperons. I also have one with only ailerons, no flaps. To tell you the truth, those with flaperons, well, I have never really seen the changes in approaches with them. However, the ones with flaps and ailerons.. well, deploying the flaps makes one big difference in the way the plane performs. But for that application, as some have already said, you don't need flaps.
