Which Youtube URL to promote?

[littlegiant]

I noticed that Youtube channels can be reached by one of two different URLs:


http://www.youtube.com/USERNAME

OR

http://www.youtube.com/user/USERNAME


I've always thought it more user friendly to promote the first, i.e. posting links on external websites but the second URL appears to get more link juice from Youtube internal linking and actually gets higher PageRank (for what that's worth, yeah I know...)

Which URL would you or do you promote?

I have not begun to promote my URL but I would go with the one getting more link juice from Youtube. Curious to know what others think...

I would go for the first one, it's a lot easier to remember. Won't the link juice point to the same page anyway? Do what's best for your visitors. :)
