NM/Dungeon gear: Hassle free, still decent stats. It may even have stats that would be impossible to gain via materia since any slot can only take certain types of materia.

Crafted gear: Easy to make, inferior base stats, generally (so far) no or few additional stats, potential to be better with materia if it doesn't break.
you're kind of off in a couple spots.

First, some dungeon gear IS hard to get for the normal player, and many players will never see it. Ontop of the difficulty there is the fact its not guaranteed. Saying dungeon gear is hassle free is a load.

Secondly as long as materia comes from crafted gear, that will never put crafters out of business.

It all comes down to how they're going to balance it.
