There's really nothing about UP or HSFX that makes one or the other more or less suitable for online or offline play. UP is more amenable to additional mods, since the HSFX installer actually DELETES your MODS and Files folders. That said, however, it is not a problem to put them back, if you know what you're doing.
Flying online is often more a matter of knowing what the server you fly on runs, and making sure you are compatible with that, particularly with respect to which Zuti DSMod is running, if any. Warbirds of Prey servers, for example, run UP 2.0, so if you fly on their servers, that's what you need.
As far as the flap about FM changes in UP, in the latest BugFix patch for UP 2.0, Hades has separated out the few planes which have altered FMs (which are not stock Oleg planes, BTW) so that users can select altered FM or not for those few planes.
