Post hole digger is $50. I’m assuming it’s going to take a full day and overnight to dig, add 4x4’s, concrete and let them get set.
If I have 8’ posts do I dig 2 ft down and concrete them in? Or dig the 2’ throw in concrete, then the post and finish with more concrete? As to not have wood direct contact to the soil.

For 14-15 I wouldn’t rent an auger. Just call that your workout for the day.
I’m not sure it matters much. Just be sure you get treated posts and you’ll be fine.
