Not really, they both feel the same if you land right. Dirt is better if you mess up though.

All depends on what you have more access to. Wood you'd have to cut up pieces to make the tranney, dirt you'd have to build a frame for the landing and then pack it in heavily.

Yep. From my experience, wood is easier. Unless you've got dirt at the site.
