Kickoff harder—less mayhem (no work to show but suspect chaos favors the unlikely outcome of a return TD) and longer distance means greater chance that a fast guy gets an angle on you at some point.

Changing my answer—more penalties on punts means decreased chance you get to do anything cool

But ...the kickoff comes with 11 good tacklers. A punt comes with 7 good blockers on D

Oh shit, that’s right—punt has 5 guys with no shot to make an open field tackle.

I’ve had so many bar debates about this. It’s almost always split 50-50. My take is you can build up more speed on a kickoff before your first engagement so it should be easier to see the field and find a hole. But I really don’t know.

Oh that’s good point—you only have to guess/see the right thing once, and then if the wheels are there you’re good.

But you see the kickers get more involved on kickoffs as a safety valve than you do on punts so you have one man who almost always has a clean chance at you. Kickers get smeared on punt returns a lot. If

That question’s actually a bit more complicated than what you’ve currently discussed (which has been good stuff). I would say the main odds of a return on either are primarily affected by overall team personnel choices, both on the coverage and return sides.

And how hard a punt to return probably depends on the punt distance and hang time. Like is it EASIER if the gunners run by you or if it’s a deep punt and they are in front of you with room?

Again, depends on who the gunners are and who the returner is. Open field returns (a long punt with low hangtime) is a lot easier to find a seam because the gunners and interior guys arrive as two separate waves, so there’s more room to maneuver. Same applies for kickoffs.
