The Hatching Eggs Path is best because not only has the Pokemon GO site confirmed that Lunar New Year event made rarer Pokemon available to hatch in 7KM Eggs; Chingling, Riolu, Darumaka, Galarian Darumaka, and Scraggy; but speedily hatching more Eggs with the 0.5 x distance bonus with also net you with more Stardust anyway.
