A Ryzen 5 3600 stock cooler which is brand new, or my Cool Hyper Master EVO 212 stock cooler which I've had for a few years now, I want to switch to ryzen stock cooler because its smaller and less annoying to take on and off, although, I worry that if I do it'll have less cooling than the other one, I have a micro atx motherboard so the one I have currently takes up a lot of space.

Depends on what you are doing with the computer. One for one the EVO will perform better, yet it sounds like you want to open up some space.

 

Have you thought about maybe spending a few more bucks and getting a low profile cooler like the BeQuiet Dark rock? Get the best of both worlds of performance and saving space.

PS: I'm not looking to overclock but I upgraded from a Ryzen 5 2600 to a Ryzen 5 3600 as I have an RTX 3060 Ti is this also a good move? Here is how much space I have

Don't bother thinking about ease of placing and removing.  How often do you actually do that?  Go with a cooler that has a lot of copper and you will save on space and keep cool.

It must be true, I read it on the internet...

Just use the 212, how often are you going to take it off anyway? The stock cooler is smaller, but also worse at cooling.

That's a good upgrade,and the 212 EVO is significantly better than the stock cooler.

I have a 212 EVO myself and in case you don't have the AM4 bracket you can use my guide:
