Hi!, As it is the best option? tail dragger or tricicle landing? for the pilots aerobatics and hard surface for landing, no grass. Thanzs!
The nose wheel is usually larger than a tail wheel, all else equal, and contributes drag. No other effect on aerobatic qualities.

But take a look at the big dog FAI & F3A pattern models and you will not see a nose wheel very often.
