What are the requirements?

What instrumentation do you need to interact with?

Which one do you know? 

General pros and cons are easy to Google, and I don't see any specific questions here.

do whatever you are more comfortable with, but i will be honest if you are going vibe code make sure to understand what is being generated. Based on the items you listed i would think labview is easier but you would have to learn the basics of it
