Better is subjective. EAA is great for people with some types of visual impairment, and it allows you to stack frames fast to build images of things that are impossible to see using visual alone. Expensive, is a complicated question in astronomy, as nothing is cheap.
If you have good vision, start with visual observation in order to learn. As far as telescope considerations, as with any imaging, photographic speed is very important. Something like a f4 or f5 Newtonian is probably the most cost effective path.
You will need to learn how to use software, such as Sharpcap, which provides the frame stacking and alignment required. Consider your telescope mount as well, everything is easier with an EQ mount (in relation to imaging), but an Alt Az mount can be made to work if you stick to very short sub exposures.
If it was me in your position, I would be doing visual first. Learn the craft, then think about next steps.
