pcap is much simpler.

pcapng supports nanosecond timestamps, comments, vendor-defined TLVs, and
bidirectional scanning.  While it looks reasonably easy to generate, it's
a little more challenging to parse in its full generality.  Heck, even
Wireshark doesn't :-/

(Note that picking a dump format doesn't mean we can parse it -- there's
the small matter of the encapsulation used, which could be 802.2,
radiotap, raw IPv6, or something else.  Do we need to specify that?)
