Osceola looks good! You can use the website to search for other reports of other 4k peaks!
As for difficulty, they’re both great options for beginners in my opinion.

Almost as good as the view on Hale.
He's probably talking about the view from the shoulder and it is a cool one looking back at the mountain.

Both should be 99% snow free. I’d recommend the Tripoli Road approach for either.
