Personally, I think fresh water is easier because a salt water tank means that you need to purchase aquarium salt, and you need to add it to every water change. I have never raised a saltwater aquarium, but I believe you also have to measure the amount of salt the fish need. So if you're a first-timer, go for the fresh water tank. But the good thing about saltwater tanks is that it is more diverse and colorful.

Why do fish that live in the ocean not retain salt?
The osmotic balance of fish in salt water is easier than fish living in fresh water. The osmotic pressure on cellular salinity is virtually zero in sea water. Salinity does vary throughout the oceans though, so fish need a mechanism to excrete urea and regulate salts and water. This is achieved using kidneys in the same way that humans regulate their osmotic balance. When fish like Salmon smolt, they move from a salt water to fresh water, which would mean that they kidneys have to work very hard to maintain the correct osmotic balance, in effect, water would be constantly moving into the fish via the gills and digestive system. Some species cannot tolerate lowered salinity, whilst some can manage brackish water. Some sharks like bull sharks can tolerate low salinity for some time and survive.
