 Buy Flash 8 pro for the encoder with the new codec.  It comes with a video encoder in the package.
If not, then you are fine buying the Flix Encoder which probably gives you the best quality flash file.  
I prefer Swish because it's a brand I trust and it has great functionality.  IMHO, unless you are doing extensive flash com sever programming, Swish is the best flash authoring tool.  Swish Video is just an extension of that.  If you've never used it do yourself a favor and download the trial.
