That totally depends on your unique situation. Every case is different, and no two cases are the same when it comes to this question. Both processes require the same documentation to meet the same immigration regulations, but they have different pros and cons. For example, when applying from within the United States with the USCIS, an applicant can have a response within 15 days. However, the filing fees to get that response in 15 days add $2,500 to the original costs. The government filing fees are much more affordable when applying at the US Embassy abroad. However, with backlogs still at record highs after COVID, there is no control over when an applicant can get an interview. This results in many applicants being stranded outside of the United States for several months being unable to run their business.
