The "better" approach depends on the nature of your research and the specific research question. You can also look into Mixed-methods research too if you wish to use both qualitative and quantitative research. But if you are looking for a smother way, Qualitative research is found to be more approachable as it requires data from survey questions, interviews and even existing data (secondary sources). As Quantitative research mostly deals with numeric data, many choose Qualitative over Quantitative.
