Cheap path: vs Spendy path:
upside-down clear tub, sneeze-guard style vs laminar flow hood
your own substrate vs purchased substrate
clone your liquid culture vs buy all your stuff
reusable, second-hand buckets vs single-use plastic bags with vents and injection ports

Another big category/point of divergence would be how much they want to do. "I have a few logs", I have one small tree", "I cut down several old maples and *Wow!*, is that a lot of wood!!"
How much space they have to work with along with amounts of work they are willing/able to do, both short and long term could be other points.

Life on a farm is a school of patience; you can't hurry the crops or make an ox in two days.
