Well, I'm laminating the outer left, right, and front of my cab, and painting the inner-left and right.  I like the look of laminate on the cab, and it provides a bit of durability, too.

I'm not sure what people do who have sideart on their cabs, though.

From working with Laminate, I'm tempted to say that paint is easier. :)

So laminate is very tricky to work with?

I wouldn't say it's tricky, but until tonight I never owned a router, so flush-trimming involved bribing friends with beer.  When it comes to painting the cab, there's not as much work to do involving powertools. :)  Then again, for a NICE paint job you'd probably want to find a friend with an air-compressor and paint nozzle. :)

In the end, it comes down to what you like best, and how much time and money you're willing to invest into the cab.  The laminate I bought was counter-top grade, sells for $45 (Canadian) per sheet at Home Depot, and I'm about to crack open my 3rd sheet.
