I have set up both these and iLinks. The learning curve is steeper with the iLinks and they are more fiddly as the liner takes a lot of work to get perfect, kink it once and you are in trouble. You have to be very diligent about compressing the iLinks at all times. I found though that going through the process of taking out the stretch in the cables and pulling the cables through with a little more pressure usually compressed them fine as long as nothing happened wit the liner. Never really had any more trouble with them after set up than with regular housings other than difficulty with inline adjusters being a 2 hand job.

Th Aican are definitely easier to set up though again you have to be diligent about taking out the slack. Much easier process as you are not worrying about the liner like on iLinks. Took me some fiddling to figure out the length of the rear mech housing as it never quite looked right.

After about 5 months on my first set of Aican brake cable and EE brakes, I'm happy to report that it's been all roses. Two-thumbs up!
