With that question in my head I started to look at EOS from another persective. You have 1 Etherium, and you want to participate in EOS, is it better to buy the EOS on Etherdelta by trading or to take part in the distribution? I did not take in consideration the difficulty in buying either way, just which is the cheapest way to turn your Etherium in to EOS. To get the right info I took the distribution history of EOS.IO, and I took the closing prices on coinmarketcap.
Here is the outcome! You can even make money with just trading EOS

Based on this information I would be investing in EOS through the EOS distribution. As you can see, it might be even interesting to invest in the distribution and after that sell EOS in order to create more Etherium. As you can see in 18 of the 25 days your invested Etherium will bring you more EOS throughout the distribution then just by trading them.
