calibre-web is actually somewhat easier to setup unless you already have a web server configured, in which case it's a wash. After downloading, you just run the pip install command (once) and then the startup command. It has its own integrated web server so you don't need to set up and configure Apache/IIS/nginx/whatever.

Calibre OPDS requires you to have a web server with PHP support configured first, and still needs similar install and run commands after downloading.

(Both require you to have the appropriate language runtime--Python or PHP--installed first, of course).
