In my opinion, it's easier to work with hydro...
You need more tools, more $ to do it right, but you have more control over the plants. You can adjust the pH up or down, in order to have the plants intake the nutrients you want... so you can correct/level deficiencies fairly quickly and easily.

Soil, well... you don't have that much control over soil.

As to "easier to fuck up with hydro", true. One bad nutrient mix and your plants might go beyond the point in a couple of hours.

I'm learning now, that what most growers fuck up is the "drying and curing" process of the buds. It is in that process, that chemicals break down, THC derrivatives get catalyzed into other THC derrivatives, and where clorophyl [?] breaks down... so your weed doesn't taste like green grass.
