For what it's worth,

I vote for removing the big axle nut for rear brake work. It's easy once you've done it a time or two.

My hub was really stuck to the drum so it didn't come off very easily when I tried to just remove the drum piece.

I think the actual brake work may be easier with the axle nut and hub removed also. I can't say for sure because I didn't do it that way.
