First things first, I think that using a glue stick would be a lot easier though I am not sure if the stick factor would be lesser as compared to using say, the regular liquid glue.

I am not that conscious with choosing the brand but I have found some Scotch glue sticks in my cabinet and I think they work rather well as compared to Elmer's.

At the end of the day, it would still be up to you to choose which one would be easier to you.
