Both

They’re not mutually exclusive

Start with the Roth 401k up until the match. Then look at which option provides you with the best fees and best retirement options. Most likely the Roth IRA. Then go back to maxing out your Roth 401k.

You could just max out both. But of course you may have other considerations like HSA, loans, other expenses, etc.
