Looking to change up the color of my taco. What is the biggest difference between paint and wraps? I've also been looking into just covering it in a liner, but I've heard mixed reviews. Thoughts? Opinions? Suggestions?

Paint and liner are pricey and permanent.
Wraps are still semi-expensive but not as much as paint. Get tired of a wrap and you can just peel it off.
Also, professionally applied plasti-dip is another route. Around my area it's about half the cost of paint. With a clear coat it's hard to tell it's dipped unless you look really closely.
If I had the money I'd wrap it.

I agree with @jchooley13.
Personally, I’d wrap it. You’ll save some money that way and can always “undo” it or change/add to it in the future. You can get easily get creative with a wrap if you’re doing more than a solid color. It also functions as a way to protect your paint and body to an extent.
I have used plasti dip and I’m not a fan of its durability.
TrailRecon had his Gladiator wrapped in a tasteful way. The Gladiator was red from the factory, but now it’s satin red with some extra flare. It looks great.
