Loops vs. PeerTube for video host

Hey friends, I'm thinking of starting up an ActivityPub compatible server to host and share my own train videos with the Fediverse, and wondering: Of the two video-oriented softwares, which would be a better fit for my use case and easier to work with? The videos would be between 15 seconds and 10 minutes long.

Comparisons, pros and cons, and your experiences working with either would be appreciated. Thanks. @fediverse

How about you have a look at some public instances, scroll through some content, watch a few videos and see which one you like better from a user perspective? I mean technically, they both work. Setup of an instance is just done once, and I guess uploading videos has about the same complexity... So it's down to what interface you like, and where you'd find your audience.
