Bleeding just gets any air out of the brake system and fixes a soft pedal. Flushing completely displaces old brake fluid w/ new. Not a lot of difference in effort required for the two so prices should be pretty close.

good luck

i was told when i did my rotors that i should get the brake and power steering fluid flushed and replaced. i also heard that i can add an additive and it will bring back the body and basically do the same thing. no clue but what yall think

There's no substitute for new clean fluid.
