Better than these two methods is probably using the header.

<?php

if (userHasFlash()) {
header("Location: http://www.mysite.com/flash.html");
} else {
header("Location: http://www.mysite.com/nonflash.html");
}

?>

No there is no page that the user has to decide flash or nonflash and
the back button works as expected.
