If you want to learn orchestration (like really learning: by practicing, by trial and error) : Orchestral Tools Inspire. When you write 'easy', is it 'easy' as in 'instant gratification' or easy as in 'taking a good learning curve'? And for what purpose? So, I'll try to differenciate the different ways you can operate.

Given this many factors, there is no 'the best' option. It depends on what you're looking after, your motivation, what kind of music you like and/or want to do, and also, your budget and your hardware. (it's only my opinion but hopefully it helps) If you're very good with tech and can work with your tech knowledge, using it to make your ideas into a releasable compositional track, go for sonuscore.

If your musically (pitch/rhythm/theory) gifted and would not need those pre programmed patterns to inspire you to write music, avoid the orchestra and go for inspire. Especially when you open the multi-patches or the patches with pre programmed patterns, the volume levels have been played around and saved and if you use those patches you would have to mix yourself other patches to it to your liking. I like it but the volume levels aren't really naturally balanced. Some important instruments are separated out for you to use (such as solo trumpet, solo flute/horn) Inspire- everything is in natural balance in terms of volume so I imagine that you wouldn't have to do any mixing if you dind't want to enhance your sound. I tried them out before but I dont own it.

ProjectSAM, there are no pattern features like sonuscore does nor does it truly have some important instruments separated out from ensemble patches.
