Well, you said you were trying to get an easy tank...
If you go low light, low maintance, no CO2 then the wet/dry is just fine, as long as you still have a moderatly planted tank with slow growing plants. There is a line where good water "aeration" is benificial as plants can use up CO2 faster than fish produce it. In low maintance tanks, some water"aeration" is benificial as it raises the level of CO2 in the water from 0ppm, back up to the 4-5ppm it would have through air transfer, without plants. Hope that made sense
