I would think ERR is the easier install, but that varies according to the installer.
Have done a couple of the LNE FAs with ERR with electro coupler on the nose of one of them and LED lighting. Really easy and lots of room. The Alco PA sound board seemed the best for the FA. I attached the speaker to the inside of the rear door with Velcro. That and a detachable antenna make future engine repairs easier. Not related, but while you have the engine on the bench add some extra weight (old, used stick-on wheel weights) inside the fuel tank for a super pulling engine. These little monsters have no limit when it comes to pulling power.

ERR is simpler but DCS offers more bang for the buck. The kit includes couplers and lights and a greater array of sounds. If you plan to do it yourself and are comfortably loading the sound files I would go with DCS. If you hold off until PS3 is offered you might even have room for a larger speaker as the electronics are supposed to be even more compact.
