Go with Ansible unless you want to fully dedicate into Nix ecosystem and spend a lot of time learning it (and it's not easy, for example because of lacking documentation). Also Ansible is something you more often find in actual projects/workplace.

well, yes true, but ansible sucks and especially for small and chaotic projects where people just change things on the machines without reflecting it in ansible it is a nightmare

You can hardly blame the tool for that, it's your process that's flawed.

Why would anyone change anything on the machine if the machine is managed by Ansible?
