So far for me the easiest to fill / most leak resistant is the ViviNova. Filling a vivi is as simple as unscrewing the top, dripping in, screwing it back on. Also after about a week I have haad 0 leaks or floods.
I have a couple carto tanks and the damn things always flood on me. Also I find pushing down the carto to fill is a bit more cumbersome.
Just my 2 cents, get one of each and see for yourself.

I would choose the map tank over the vivi nova. Although I really don't care for the map tank all that much. I'm a carto fan so I rock the j tank. IMO the vivi nova is the biggest POS I've used so far.
People had problems with the initial version of the Vivi Nova....but the latest iterations are excellent. I have used carto tanks, but still don't like the taste of the carto. For me....it's vivi nova all the way. Their are some new fillerless tanks coming out now....as well as a smaller version of the Vivi Nova. I'm totally on the no filler, no carto bandwagon.
I've only been using mine for a few days, but I love my vivi nova 2.5. I only wish it had more throat hit.
Best and last the longest will vary, is subjective and depends on a number of factors. You can either replace the heads in the Nova or save money and rebuild the coil and wick. With the MAP when the CE2 wears out you just replace it and move on.
Easy to fill goes to the Nova, nothing easier, just unscrew the top pour or drip the liquid in, screw the top back on and done. The Nova is also less prone to leaks, I haven't had a drop of leakage yet.
If you do go with the Nova go with V2 or 2.5. I had V1 and the latter versions are a huge improvement.

I bought one from Madvapes, the V2, liked it enough to order two more, they were V2.5 when I received them...
...I think they've become popular enough it may be tough to fine a V2.....The V2.5 have longer wicks but are very easy to shorten up, or rewick with cotton, much better flavor, not muted at all but you're forced to rebuild the head. And at <$3 for a replacement that lasts a long time, it's tough to find the time to rebuild...
I am stuck on this question too. I want to try both but too $$.
I think im leaning more toward the vivi ATM. Getting my SB today so I hope that the vivi works good with it. Anyone experience the vivi with the SB?

I to am looking into a tank system. The MAP tanks are out of stock, and the Vivis look nice but seem to have issues.
People can't say nothing bad about the J-Tank or the Sub/Mini-Sub..I know they weren't any of your choices but worth a look. I know those are the two I'm debating between.

I feel like many of the people who prefer the carto tank systems, for the most part, are people that had bad experiences with the original Vivi Nova, or have been using a tank forever and don't know what they're missing.

I agree 100%. I am a carto tank person. All of the reviews on the vivi that are on YouTube were all great. Most of the map reviews were good too.
I have 2 sub tanks and they worked fine for about 1 week. After that all they wanted to do was flood. It seemed to have something to do with the temperature. I would walk outside after being in the a/c and they would dump fluid. Blow it out and in about an hour or so would do it again. So I bought 3 vivi novas, one 2.0 and two 2.5. I have had them 2 weeks and love them. No leaks floods or missfires of any kind.
The flavor is a little muted but I can live with that.

The Vivi Nova is an easy to use, easy to maintain, no leak, CE2 / MAP style tank, with re-buildable coils. Re-building with better wicking material solves the very slight muting of flavors.
I have a half dozen carto tanks, they kinda worked, flooded & leaked a bit. From what I can see of them is they rely on a vacuum to keep the juice in, while at the same time let it out a little at a time into the carto. The balancing act of just enough juice to keep from burning, yet not too much to flood adjusted by how much air is let into the tank and how fast is not reliable.

from what I been seeing on here a lot of people complain about the wicking/burnt taste coming out of the vivis. these might be with the older version, I see HoosierEcig has a v2.0 and GotVapes has a v2.5
I'm still debating with myself though a vivi 2.5, mini sub, or a j tank.. the Vivi 2.5 looks really nice and the coils seem a lot easier to replace then the cartos. I just don't want to taste burnt juice every draw I take or leak MLs of juice all over the place.
I'm loving the Vivi Nova so far. I had way more issues with burnt flavor from the occasional polyfil burning taste from the carto/tank setup. Not a burnt tasting hit from the Vivi yet. And oh man are they easier to fill/maintain/change flavors without wasting juice.
