All depends on your situation and your personality really.
I would not really care what medium i used, i've had fantastic results from all, and none discernably more or better than the other.
I have to grow on the stealth side of things, and i am also a bit lazy, but partly due to having to be stealth. As such, hydroponics works for me. I need to fill it up with water once a week, other than that there's nothing really to be done, i look in maybe halfway through the week but other than that it ust grows itself. Then there is no messat the end other than plant matter, because it all just goes down the drain
However using soil or coco etc, you have so much more flexibility, you have more redundancy options in that soil doesn't need electricity in the case of an outage, organic growing is a lot more commonplace and easier, generally just more "real" imo, although certainly things grow in water naturally, soil is soil is all hippy shit ya know what i mean
