Default RE: Flint Lock recomendations

Ok, so I want to know more about the traditional guns. I have never shot one, so what is the main difference between a flint lock and a percussion? One uses a flint to arc and start the powder and one uses a cap that is struck by the hammer? Which one is more reliable? What about the twist rates? 1 in 66 = patch and ball? 1 in 36 or 1 in 48 = Conicals? Never seen a 1 in 28 for traditional while reading so I am assuming this is for the modern inlines and sabots? Sorry for so many questions in one post but I want to follow you guys with the traditional guns a little better in your posts so when the time comes for shopping for one I will pretty much know what I am looking for.
