or
2. Lay it on its edge and push it?

Same amount of weight. one has a bigger contact patch then the other. Which one will be easiet to move?
If I'm pushing on a carpet, number 2 is much easier than number one. If I push on a smooth floor, then the second may be easier. It depends on the surface you're pushing on.
