I'd suggest going Hard, then trying out Lunatic Casual. Lunatic's difficult in general unless you know what you're doing in either mode, so getting a feel for Hard first is important since Lunatic's basically just hard with better enemy stats.Classic was the mode I used when I first played Lunatic. So if you want, you can go Lunatic Classic to see how hard Lunatic is and experience permadeath at the same time. Its like killing two birds with one stone!
For seriously, Lunatic will only be difficult for the first 5 chapters if you have the grinding DLC like Golden Gaffe and EXPonential Growth but if you don't have the DLC then the entire Lunatic mode will give you a bad time. So I recommend Lunatic Casual if you don't have any of the Grinding DLC. I dunno about your experience about Awakening's Hard mode but I personally think Hard mode is pretty easy so doing a Hard Classic playthrough would be similar to playing a Hard casual just with the constant threat of your units dying if you're careless.
TL;DR: You want to play a harder mode without resetting a lot? Go Lunatic Casual. You want to get used to permadeath? Hard or Normal Classic is a decent option. You want to unleash your inner masochistic side that you thought you never had before? Lunatic Classic or Lunatic+ Classic is the way to go.
In nogrind, Lunatic's more of a rollercoaster than anything. It's difficult in the first few chapters, but then gets easier until Ch11 and spikes at around Ch16. It then sinks again until Ch24/25, because screw those maps.
(Also, grinding in Lunatic kind of ruins the point of the mode, unless you restrict it a lot. You might as well just do Hard at that point, maybe with a special restriction or two).
