If you go the drip irrigation system, you will be happy. Less water wasted and more on the plants. It can be a pain to take care of, check it routinely for cracks or areas of failure and you should be good. Some people use very small tubing with nozzles and the like to where the it drips on the plant, but the same can be achieved by building your rows a little wider. Put a normal garden hose running parallel to the plants on the extra bit of row, and poke a hole where each plant is on the hose. Cheaper in the long run and accomplishes the same job.
