I have oxy propane at home. It's easier and safer to store the propane so seems like a no brainer for the home workshop. It burns a little less hot than acetylene but this just means it takes slightly longer to get the work up to temp.

Which is probably a good thing for a novice brazer right? Less chance of overheating things?
Referring to myself here, not the OP.

No you can still very easily cook it 😁 I think it's probably a little easier using acetylene, you can maybe get away with a smaller flame which is easier to focus the heat with.
In any case, propane is fine for the hobbyist and will braze just fine
