Monero node is easier in sense that most laptops ship with 512gb ssd, so 360gb is fine for blockchain
Also monero node is more useful as basic daemon provides direct rpc for wallets to connect to
Bitcoin requires electrum/electrs to run on top or bitcoind in comparison
TBF all monero wallets I've tried have shitty UX where you need to wait for it to sync everytime you open them

Ever run your own LWS?
Yea, they really need to get background sync working correctly. Probably one of the biggest complaints.
Cake Wallet had it for awhile, and when it worked it was great, but too many bugs so they had to take it down for now...
