Depends on the ultimate goal of the project - if you're strictly trying to develop some omnidirectional drivetrain, than yes, mecanum would be far cheaper. But if you're looking into it from a learning standpoint and wanting to push the envelope, than developing some sort of ball drive would probably teach a lot more than a "conventional" drive.
