I am not sure if live birth is easier than taking care of eggs, sure when you have eggs you have to set them up and incubate them however that part, is not that much nor is it overwhelming, IMO many people complicate things, are impatient and worry too much when they have eggs and that often leads to mistake and issues, the key is to be prepared know are to setup your egg and than leave them alone.
I hatch 100 to 200 eggs a year and honestly once my eggs are laid they are setup and I don't think about them for the next 60 days.
Ultimately do what you love have a plan, make sure what you will produce has a demand for it and if you chose an egg laying species have an incubator ready when the time comes whether you build your own or buy it.
