I suspect you'll get some different opinions, but I personally found it very easy to remove the front clip. I'd suggest one of the biggest factors is how happy you are with the current alignment of the front fenders/hood. If everything is generally good, and you don't want to mess with re-aligning the fenders/hood, removing the entire front clip allows you to leave the hood in place, and it's pretty easy to get the front clip back in place without too much adjustment fuss.
I created this
YouTube video of removing the front clip, which will give you an idea of the difficulty. Unfortunately I never created the video about putting it back.
