From the point of view of the software, a straightforward Mecanum drive is identical to a typical omniwheel setup with 45-degree-angled wheels at the corners. They're equally easy.
On the other hand, they're equally difficult. To be able to drive a holonomic platform easily requires tight feedback control of wheel speed. Giving the driver complete responsibility for motor power is simple, and works fine for demonstrations, but if you want to do something tricky like climb a ramp it's probably going to have to be a bit fancier.
