Can I use SP2S pods on LANA hosts?

Generally no. Treat brands as separate ecosystems unless a manufacturer or retailer explicitly confirms compatibility for the exact pod and host.

Which is better for beginners?

LANA is often simpler because the ecosystem is more cohesive. SP2S is still beginner-friendly if you buy the correct generation for your host.
