[SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition on Windows 2000 Advanced Server]
We want to copy the data from our Production SQL Server to another SQL Server to run reports on it.
What method it easiest for this ?
(Replication, Log Shipping...)
--> The DB is 3GB at its peak.

Easiest? Backup/Restore.
Need more real time, then replication may be best.

I'd vote log shipping, but honestly don't like either one.
Let me clarify with Replication is more mature and probably more stable. If you have an issue, it might be a bear to untangle.
Log shipping is simpler, but less mature and people have found bugs. I'd implement my own log shipping if I had to.
