I mix and match whatever. Really doesn't matter to me. Although I will admit I lean more towards flesh, but that's 'cause when I was younger themed sets was about all I bought (particularly Star Wars).
P.S. TO THE NUIMOBILE!!
But I don't have a yellow head and skin hands.
mod edit - don't use ten emoticons when one will do
yea, and it'd look funny, I think I know what he means though...
Unless a film is super serious and has extremely good animation...
Well, I don't really see how that has something to do with using yellow or flesh.
I'd go for yellow, but I can't say why. Maybe it's because it's the classic colour of lego, and I grew up with it so I feel more attached to it. Flesh doesn't attract me, probably because I'm not used to it or because I feel it was unnecessary to change colour skin. It coul be an advantage though, if you want three human civilizations to meet, and you want it to be clear that they're different: yellow, flesh, brown (I don't see lot of brown people in the sets, though).
It just goes for a licensed theme to look "realistic".Yellow just fits lego's normal color.
I will use whatever face looks the best for whatever character I have, so yellow or flesh. 
Yellow. For Harry Potter films I wil use Flesh.
Depends what I'm doing but i never use them in the same film.
Flesh, because before when Lego only had yellow, I always wondered why they were yellow, and disliked it. Then, flesh coloured skin Lego arrived, and I was relieved. Plus, yellow makes the scene...I cannot find the right words, so I will put it like this: Yellow skin makes the scene feel 'un-fresh' and 'un-vivid'. I mean, just look at the lego man here > 
I use a mix of Flesh, Yellow and Brown minifigures and it works just fine.
Yellow.
I have noticed that flesh toned faces have more unique and interesting faces
(example: Hagrid's head, every time I look at it I break into insane laughter)
but yellow faces, being produced for a much longer period of time have much more variety. lego faces were originally yellow to represent no culture I kinda like that feeling.
Also to have flesh toned heads you need to purchase lisend (< ohh miss-spelled) themed sets, and those are just so darn expensive.
I will use flesh toned heads in more serous films or Star Wars parodies, (I'm not really into Indiana Johns or batman)
the problem I often run into is the flesh bodies have a design that fits a caricature better then a yellow colored one. but I just switch the hands around and I'm fine.
but I will defenetly never use them in the same film. it annoys me every time I see them together in a brickfilm. unless they are representing different species of creatures which is all right they look very sloppy together (in my opinion)

There are some films where having both in one film don't detract from it. mobiledeli's Egyptian Holiday is a good example of this.

well that isn't really the flesh color I had in mind. brown and more tan skin like that is alright. sorry I hadn't thought about flesh tones in between yellow and flesh Indiana johns' 
Yellow. They're neutral, and they are easier to get.
