If you have a tractor with bars to take the extra hub, then that's probably the easiest way to go. If your tractor has flange axles, then snap-ons are about the only way to go... or certainly the asiest, most practical way to go.
Snap-Ons do put more stress on the wheel center. I broke two. I know. Got heavier centers now, so I should be OK to break something else.
Installation is about the same if you've got the tools, so I think that's about a wash. If you've got an air gun and a set of pallet forks or a bale clamp to handle the wheel, you can pop them on in a few minutes each. It takes about that to put the snap-ons on too.
The only thing I find with the sanp on tpe is that the clamps do work loose sometimes. I've lost clamps. They can also spin on the inner wheel... It's not the greatest system, but if those are your options, that's what you do.
I would not under any circumstance want a hub adapter to put hub duals on my flange axles. That would just be a royal pain in the posteriour. Bar axles are another story.
