It's pretty easy to self host unless you start rooting around in the code (then you'll need to know a bit of html, css, php and javascript) but even if you do that since Wordpress is open source there are a zillion tutorials on the internet about how to do basically anything you could ever want to do.

Wordpress is easier to use, catches whatever spam comes my way and has only once in 4 years erroneously caught a genuine comment!

Very clean and easy to use interface, image uploading and handling, and spam filtering, etc. But if you want to use fun fonts, or have more control over your html and layout, and you're using wordpress.com, you have to pay for that (it's cheap and I think worth it but everyone's different).
