Default Which is better - wordpress hosted blog or self hosted blog

Would it be better to host a blog myself, ie at http://www.quickcreative.net or to have one at Wordpress quickcreative.wordpress.com?

Are there any particular advantages either way?

Get your own URL. Always better to have your main content on your own domain. You are not at the mercy of someone else.

What about the search engines? Will they find content faster on Wordpress and rate it higher?

The same thing amabaie's said

You always want content to stay on your site if at all possible. I would never use anything external to run a site.

Is there a problem in doing both with different content created for the same theme?

For greater control and privilege you should blog on your own domain name because the day your network will become bigger you should not loss it.

Blog within your site would be better & whenever you'll update your blog that time SE found that your site is updating & now you will get the advantage

Why not use both wordpress.com and your own wordpress on your domain. Use the wordpress.com for press-releases, news headlines, and store main content on your wordpress on your domain.

Just my suggestion! I have seen this to work very well.
