If all you want is web driven IMAP service for your users, squirrelmail is easier. Horde/IMP/et al. is far more ambitious in that it provides a robust groupware package when properly integrated with SQL/Cyrus/LDAP/Sieve provides workgroup shared e-mail (with quotas), shared calendars (with free-busy), shared contacts (including write ability with LDAP), integrated and live server based filtering including vacation type notification, shared task lists, shared notes and an integrated wiki. But yes, it also does web mail similar to squirrelmail. The fact that they have abstracted the SQL backend so you can use the SQL server of your choice, that they have abstracted the contacts system so that you can use LDAP or SQL (or both) for address books, that they have abstracted the cyrus administration system to the point where users can administer the permissions on their own mailboxes does carry with it some amount of complexity of configuration.
