If you've got rootsh installed, you can use "apt-get remove" from X Terminal to uninstall them (you'll need to know the actual package name though, rather than the display name). If you've been installing from the command-line, you might also find "apt-get clean" will free up some space.

Try disabling extras-testing and extras-devel repo's to see if that frees up some memory. If that doesn't work, flashing would be the solution.

I could be wrong, but I think your phone goes back to factory state if you flash the emmc as well; flashing the firmware leaves the settings untouched.

so what would be my best bet with regards to flashing

If you're going to flash, might as well flash the phone back to factory state so you start with a clean slate.

Make a back up before flashing ;)

disable extras and development repositories and reboot your n900. Uninstall softwares that you do not use.
