A novice can pull off both methods successfully, maybe a better question is which one do you prefer and feel comfortable with?
Personally, I like having control over things, so Incubation is my fit. That way if someone goes wrong, I know it's probably not my fault (they can die for unknown reason, tangled umbilical early on). Where as if I did maternal and something went wrong I'd wonder if it's something I failed to do.
