Well, all instruments really have their own challenges to them. An example of this is the Clarinet: Clarinet requires a very strong embouchure (mouth positioning and strength). Another difficulty is that when you press the octave key, fingering the same note will not necessarily be the same note up one octave.

Saxophone has one unusual fingering requirement: to go up your normal C scale (Bb concert), you must revert back to the C key twice.

Another type of woodwind is the double-reeded instruments. Not only do the fingerings seem weird, but on the bassoon, you have a total of 13 keys to press with your thumbs.

So no woodwind instrument is really harder than the other. It just takes a certain type of skill to play each one. The only real way to see what type of instrument you would play well is to just try them.
