Why not simply do 'customize-option text-mode-hook'?  There's even a
button for turn-on-flyspell, which in my Emacs activates flyspell mode for
most modes.  Choose to save your changes for future sessions.

Of course, comment all other customizations you may have outside the
'customize' interface.  You can later study whether the modes you want
flyspell for call the text-mode-hook, and add them to the appropriate mode
hook if they don't.
