If you plan to make money using Linux ie you need performance, dual boot. If you want to tinker, VM. Note that if you dual boot make sure you have a spare PC handy, Linux can be a cunt to use sometimes.
Haven't tried using Live USB extensively, but when I did try it I found it to be 10x worse than a VM on my old Dual Core CPU.

it seems VM is a better choice

Dunno, always just used Ubuntu - what do you want Linux for anyway?

word processing,web browsing and programming

dual boot is just wasting a bit of space and adding an extra second on your boot time.
I would do that if you switch between the two.
If you on the other hand needs to use both simultaniously, I would use a VM, this still waste a lot of space, but you can shrink it as much as you need.
Live USB is for testing it out, it is slow as fuck and not worth doing for a longer time.

web browsing and making a backup might be fine on a liveusb, but a hassle to use when you need to do anything else.
Why are you hesitant about dualbooting?

If it's non-professional, VM. If you start getting annoyed at it's slow performance, migrate to Dual Booting. If you're doing programming, investigate 'Docker', it can make moving between platforms and installs very easy once it's setup.
Get a different Hard drive preferable SSD and install linux on that. If you have a laptop get m.2 drive most new laptop have m.2 slot. So yea dualboot.

>word processing
TeX and LaTeX are much better than Word
>web browsing
Most browsers are available for Linux
>programming
Linux is practically made for programming and extensibility.
