OCR.
Honestly for someone self studying its probably the easiest exams out there. Even without learning any content someone could answer a few of the questions simply with common sense.
I'm not familiar with the other exam boards very much but I do know that AQA is harder than OCR.

My kids did CIE IGCSE. I don't know what the other boards are like to be honest - I suppose most people will only really be familiar with the board that they've studied.
