If you qualify to apply for FSW right away, you can do that. I can't really say which is easier. You may need less documents for PNP maybe but then again, you have to be approved by the PNP first and then by CIC also while FSW, you just go through CIC so it may be a hair faster. You would need an AEO to apply through PNP. For FSW, if you fit category 1 or 3, you don't need an AEO.
