Snow crab is easy to find and can be reasonably priced. However, it can be a lot of work to get the crab meat out of the legs and due to the smaller size of the legs and the amount of meat that they provide, you will need more crab legs per person than if you were to serve king crab legs. King crab legs are very sweet and incredibly meaty. King crab legs are very expensive and much larger than snow crab legs. The high price per pound and the size of the king crab legs makes them great for special occasions but too expensive to have on a regular basis. If snow crab and king crab were the same price, I'd pick king crab legs every time!
