I think you need both aspects, strength and stability. Flat Bench, while building strength isn't training your core to hold that rigid position and it isn't teaching you to press in a way that allows for movement of the scapula(s). If it were me (actually, it is me), a combination of planks, inclined pushups and traditional bench would be in order to bring up all aspects. But perhaps those are just my deficits talking.
