If you want more control over investment options and to save on fees based on your portfolio size then IRA is the way to go.

If you plan to ever do a back door Roth IRA, then you want it in an 401k

Yes you would, but most people don’t do that since you would need to pay taxes on it. Which is usually a bad idea while you are employed since you’ll be at a higher bracket. The usual route to do a back door Roth IRA is to contribute to a traditional Ira (which you can’t deduct due to income level) and then convert it to Roth. If you have any other balance in a traditional/rollover Ira you fall under something called the pro rata rule
