PETG is great and almost as easy to work with as PLA! I got a nicer printer a few months ago and have been using it for more structural prints (hooks, storage bins that I'll probably drop, things for in my car). It holds up a lot better, and doesn't suddenly fracture into pieces when over stressed like PLA does.
For anything decorative, or low impact/stress, PLA works great and typically gives slightly better dimensional accuracy compared with PETG. PLA is a poor choice for anything that'll have extended sun exposure, impacts, or needs to survive moderately high temperatures like in a hot car.
Happy printing!
