Of course a cab is easier (unless it gets caught in traffic - I've had
some trips where it's quicker to walk).

If luggage and stairs is the issue, I'd try: Heathrow to St Pancras by
Piccadilly, northern ticket hall, Thameslink, change to the Bognor train
at Gatwick.

Makes it an awful long journey. Taxi works fine.

As with any journey you are balancing cost and time. That's a personal
decision. But if money and convenience are the main factors, suitable
routes are not always the direct ones.
