It's only hard if you want to re-use the tub, otherwise just tear the fuckers off. You want to get as much of the residue left behind off as you can, so getting a tub glue removing compound is worthwhile in my experience.
Tape is way easier to apply (and far less time consuming) than glue. It won't give quite as good a bond, but as I assume these are mainly for flat time trials then you should be fine with tape.

The harder the better. Glue, done right, gives the best results in both safety and performance, but it's a huge faff. Tape is a piece of piss and works fine for most purposes.

Its a right pain to remove it properly, but with the right tools (some plastic/wooden scrapers, goo remover) it can be made a lot easier.
Glueing is straightforward following detailed instructions.
.I never taped myself, but witnessed a mechanic doing it and it was very swift, instructions here.
OH! And if you're swapping wheels, dont forget to swap your brake pads. Metal shards from using the alu wheels can gauge the carbon wheels.

Also, how hard is removing old tubs and mounting new ones? Should I use glue or tape?
