Trails that are found in roulettes are generally tied to the main story and are required to progress in the game.

Omega (normal) is just like trials in this regard: it is part of the story, but the mechanics are purposely vastly less punishing than the savage version.

The gear from Omega offers different stats and is a stepping stone toward upgrading your gear to the tome set and the raid gear, if you plan on raiding.
