25-man gear should not be better than 10-man gear

Agreed Alex. My SPriest hit 80 on a Sunday (hit capped gear), and was doing 25 man Naxx on Tuesday, and I had no heroic gear. While my DPS (and gear) wasn't that great, that was fixed by the end of the week with a few lucky drops that no one needed. It was over a month until I finally hit 10 man Naxx, and mainly for healing gear / missing pieces of gear.

As for what's easier, I'd lean a bit towards 25 man. If a couple of people die, it's easier to pick up the slack. 25 man also gives you more buffs, heals, and advantages. 1-2 battle rezzes in 10 man vs 3 -5 in 25 man, more group heals, more OTs, etc. Now of course 25 man boss mechanics are generally a bit more difficult (more health, etc), but 10s are easier to pug.

Personally I'm waiting to see how "hard" Ulduar really is. People are still going to run 25 Ulduar just for the rare gear, as when you come down to it, for some people it's all about the toys and who has them and who doesn't :)
