When it comes to marathon, the right answer depends heavily on what you are trying to achieve and what constraints you are working within.
**If your priority is long-term reliability:** then approaching marathon by starting with the most widely used option in your domain makes the most sense.
**If your priority is ease of maintenance:** then the calculus around the alternatives shifts significantly toward accepting a steeper learning curve for long-term leverage.
Technique issues are harder to fix at advanced levels, so fundamentals matter from the start.
For most people asking about marathon: start with the simpler option and migrate once you have a real understanding of your situation. Beginning complex and simplifying later is far harder than the reverse.
Tnjury prevention requires progressive overload, not maximum intensity from the start.
