Both are fairly easy, Frogbit has bigger leaves and roots hanging down, Duckweed is a better nutrient absorber while not having noticeable roots , Duckweed is more adaptable to water conditions than Frogbit, Frogbit is nicer to look at ( imo), both need consistent population control but Duckweed grows faster so more work.

Hope this helps.

I have Frogbit in my tank and it grows great
In fact, occasionally I have to remove some of it so some of the tank's top direct light gets to the other plants.
