How to Choose a Camera Flash and Speedlite

Before starting I discuss a bit for beginners who do not know about the term flash.
GN, guide number, power flash
TTL, E-TTL and E-TTL II flash metering Through The Lens. In a flash, who has this function, always there will be a pre-flash first to quantify how powerful flash that will be used, then just play the flash shot.
Master Slave unit, used for triggering slave master unit.

Well .. in choosing flash / speedlite. Actually what is to be considered given the large GN and fungsi2 like E-TTL will affect the price. Often in fact continue to use TTL functions less preferred. Because the manual flash (no TTL metering function) was because we wear our digital whereabouts can compensate lack of such functions by looking at the LCD and set the aperture to fit. And according to my experience and observations, in addition to its use for family photos or event, it turns out most of the works of art created photo without using the flash.

So in addition if you are a photographer or journalist coverage, Speedlite by criteria such as what is required? Want to ask his opinions like this if I could.

If you have an advanced flash it, how often and under what circumstances you usually wear?
And how useful these advanced functions for you?
And how important is flash utility in the creation of your artwork?

So that finished the discussion also for beginners, including me in terms of buying a flash. Because the price of flash is also not exactly cheap when tempted to buy that expensive as 580EX, and in fact later use is not maximized.
