It really depends on your goal. If you're trying to grow a YouTube channel, I'd rather have the 5k views on YouTube.
 
I'd choose YouTube because those views can help with subscribers and future recommendations.
 
Personally, I'd take YouTube views since they can keep bringing traffic over time.
 
Website traffic is great if you're selling something or promoting affiliate offers.
 
If those 5k website visitors are highly targeted, they could be much more valuable than YouTube views.
