Difficulty: Even on hard mode, there is not anything particularly difficult about Dead Space. The trophy set is pretty straight forward and there are no curve balls, so to speak. Overall, I would rate it as an "easy" platinum.
Convenience: You will have to play through the game approximately two and a half times. I clocked in 22 hours on this platinum and would guess that it could take anywhere from 18-27 hours.
General Tips: On your first play through I would aim to complete the "One Gun" (beat the game using only plasma cutter) gold trophy. Prioritize spending all your credits to fully upgrade the plasma cutter and your suit's health. Once this is accomplished the game should be fairly easy even with the one gun handicap. It also helps that a fully upgraded plasma cutter is a very strong gun.
After you beat the game, load your saved data and start a new game with all the progress you have made on your upgrades. At about the half way point through your second game you should have the trophies for all the "upgrade" achievements. If you wish for things to go faster you can also use cheats that will supply with you credits and it will not void your trophy completion. Once your "upgrade" achievements are done, you can start hard difficulty and achieve any other trophies that you did not complete on the normal mode.
On hard mode do not try to conserve ammo by curb stomping or physically attacking as it puts you in danger to receive a hefty amount of damage. Instead, focus on your accuracy and diversify your gun usage to conserve ammo for other weapons. Considering I had 23 health packs preceding the last boss battle, hard mode should not be too difficult.
