 What are the top hash/extract options for a new grower?

Okay, so I'm flowering my first grow here and I'd like some more wizened advice than google is able to provide with what to do with my extra greenery. There's a billion tutorials I've found, no shortage of them, and frankly now I'm more confused with my options than before I looked anything up.
I personally love afghan/bubble hash (but frankly I couldn't tell you the difference in any detail) but am open to BHO or waxy extracts like that- however I do not prefer them and don't like fucking with them since I don't own a rig and don't want to.
I guess I'm looking for suggestions for what is easy (not very messy) and uses as little specialty equipment as possible, is cost effective, and makes an enjoyable product. I don't have any first hand experience outside of making bho once so the nuances of these different styles of extract are totally lost on me- extracts aren't something I've ever been that into or knowledgeable about and it seems like there's a fucking million of them
Thanks guys

After seeing how simple it is to use bubble bags in a video tutorial I'm kind of blown away by how easy it looks.
Do you have a reliable brand of bags you can recommend? That pic you posted kinda turned the want light on.

Ya i LOVE hash more then dabs
They dont have to be the brand name "bubble bags".... but something quality is recommended by me
I have a $180 set , and a cheap ebay set.... the cheap set was free with the hash washing machine (a great investment if doing multiple large batch's )
The cheap ones leak at the seams (putting high mic hash in the lower bags)
They cheap ones work. but i like the good ones (take longer to strain.... but thats a good thing)

Hash will always be my favorite concentrate. I get away with just 2 bags when I do it.

Quality and the ability to blend grades is nice. Also getting full melt is much harder with 3 bags.
I do big runs of multiple strains and they have some subtle differences the full melt can be found in several sizes too.

The bubblebag brand bags are selling on freshheadies at $145 for a 4-bag 5-gallon kit. Not bad I guess.

K so I dry my buds in a super hot attic for about 3 days after I've manicured my spears. All that trim is what I'd blast with a clean butane than maybe a everclear evaporation dewaxing as well is possible dry or wet trim I've heard both rock...save ur buds and only blast personal amounts when needed.... after initial three days in attic hanging the spears in ur moderate temperature dark closet is ideal basically u want the plant material to dry shrivel and decompose while thc trichromes the sap decomposes wayy slower so long as not exposed to heat and light ...how I'd do it latrrs

That is the absolute worst way to dry your bud next to microwaving/using a heater.

Yeah, I have exactly zero intention of doing that.
I just tend to avoid shooting people down in threads where I'm asking for advice - It's a surefire way for people to get tired of giving it to me very quickly.
Thank you for trying to drop some wisdom though man, I appreciate you taking the time.
I'm planning on wet trimming and hanging my buds in my grow tent (possibly with a hanging dry net), downstairs where it's cooler (never above 80, it's winter mang) and has a hard time getting above 30% humidity. Gonna electrical tape the fuck outta some jars and cure the nuggets next to my computer so they're not outta-sight outta-mind.

That's a low relative humidity. Must have fast drying plants. I've always done well with drying 10 days before trimming and curing another 10. 20 days dead has always seemed to be the sweet spot for final product. Even for hash I would recommend finished product or 20 days dead trim. Shit just tastes better when you wait.
