How deep of removal do you need? If the gas goes to a processing facility, you will most likely need a TEG unit or a mol sieve. Chilling systems work well for intermediate levels of dehydration. For these levels of gas a chilling system would be a lower CAPEX and OPEX.

In addition to the above

TEG systems are economical at 500 pounds and above.

Chilling systems have potential hydrate - It depends on water dew point spec.
