Leaded solder is easier to use, but banned under manufacturing laws in this country due to the current legislation.
Lead free solder works fine too, it's a little harder to use, but not by a lot in terms of our type of soldering.
Bigger problem will be not mixing the two types, as that probably won't work too well.
If your not in manufacturing, and if you can get leaded solder then I wouldn't worry about it, get it and use it! But if you can't get it, then the lead free will also work fine, just be careful to clean off the 2 things your soldering as best you can if they already have leaded on them.
It's not really that big a deal to be honest, and you shouldn't have desoldering issues with either as long as your careful and good with the soldering!
I'm still using leaded solder BTW as I still have a real of it, but know of the lead free situation via work.
