I was thinking posts in the ground with postcrete the subframe to that, is there much difference between the two in terms of difficulty vs gain?

I have done posts into the ground with concrete around.
Worth considering that the posts can be a weak point in terms of rotting out, particularly if your ground is damp.
Can help against this by uprating your wood (we used oak sleepers ripped in half) or also using something like post savers.

Keen to see what you decide on this, as I'm planning a deck build soon.
Is it worth using postsavers on the posts?

Following with interest, love a good decking project!
How are you building your sub frame? posts in the ground or slabs on the ground and then risers to get to decking height?
