There is no easy brass instrument to learn to play, they all require considerable effort and dedication.
Some are harder than others though. French Horn is known to be a challenge for just about everyone. Tuba is a challenge for short people as is trombone. Baritone/Euphonium becomes difficult after the first couple years because the player is required to learn to read in treble, bass, and tenor clefs. These are all challenges that are overcome by students all the time though.
The trumpet is very popular and has an advantage in size over the others. Arguably, an instrument that is easier to manage physically will be practiced more. On the other hand, if you like one instrument over another, you could be expected to practice it more...
The bottom line is that there is no easy choice here. Each instrument has advantages and disadvantages. Learning to play an instrument requires a certain dedication to the effort, otherwise failure is assured.
Don't pick based on ease, pick based on which you think you'd like to learn to play.

They all have different challenges and places where they are easy. Different people will take to different instruments and different families of instruments while others won't. If you look at the fact that Suzuki music programs let very young children (4, 5, 6, 7, etc) play quite well on a string instrument, you could say the strings are easy. Yet schools that use the Orff method of teaching have entire elementary schools learning percussion instruments. There are tons of players that pick up brass instruments with no problem at all. There is no point in comparing them as what is easy for one person is not easy for another. Personally, I find string instruments and drum kit to be difficult. I can play brass, woodwinds, and keyboard percussion instruments with no real work. Could you do that though? If not, does that mean that I was wrong about what is easy and what is hard? No. Also, the saxophone is a woodwind, not a brass instrument. It is made of brass, but the sound generation is by a reed which makes it a woodwind. It is played in a completely different way from brass instruments.

i'd say trumpet. low brass requires a LOT of air to get through the instrument, and the french horn is rumored to be the hardest of all brass instruments. i'm not quite sure why, though.

I played trumpet for years...first you have to build up your ambature(face muscles),then it's lots of practice.
Trombone is tough,french Horn is tough...you know... tuba or baritone horn might be a little easier but it depends on what level you want to play,it's not easy to be good.
good luck

Cymbols would be my guess. Anyone can clang two pieces of metal together. Even me and I am tone deaf.
