I am starting up a website that needs a lot of sophisticated multi line charts. I see two top candidates for the job
Does anyone have any recommendations or preferences on this decision?

Advantages of D3.This is not possible in Google Charts, where you can only create frequently used charts like bar, line, column, etc. While some of the Google Charts do not support a large amount of data and have some limit, D3.
The most common way to use Google Charts is with simple JavaScript that you embed in your web page. You load some Google Chart libraries, list the data to be charted, select options to customize your chart, and finally create a chart object with an id that you choose.
Use noData() method to enable "No data" label: chart. noData().
Google charts: You will need to call out to google every time you need to plot. Is it acceptable to do this from your website?
Control: Flot is the clear winner in this category, as you have a very high degree of control over plots. Also, Flot is pretty fast! I have used it personally, and once you get the hang of the API, it is great. Further, there are many 'plugins' that can be written (and some are available) for flot. I think this is a great feature.
Overall, I would vote for Flot.
