DB Press is the one mate. It's a compound movement. Sure use fly's but pressing should be the staple of your chest work.

Big movements like the presses are usually better for stimulating overall muscle growth but they are not mutually exclusive. Do both.

you really need both in your routine, flies add width and definition, presses add mass and girth
no pain no gain

Do both flyes and dumbell presses. Flyes are a good finishing movement for chest day. Throw in some incline presses as well.

Start with presses (inlcine and flat) then go to flyes at the end of the workout
