Self Hosted Youtube Indivious vs viewtube
which is better? Or they do different things and I should host them both?

Holy, now we have Piped, Invidious and viewtube
That’s a good thing tough ! Right now they are all a bit unstable and YouTube’s new SABR things makes those alternatives kinda unreliable.
They are the same thing (YouTube self-hosted frontend alternative) with their own features I guess?
You should test Piped, Indivious and Viewtube and make your own opinion, however Viewtube has been paused so this one is probably not going to have the SABR workaround update Piped and Invidious are working on ?
Right now they are all a bit janky and unstable because of YouTube’s new update (SABR, don’t know the details) so find one that works as self-hosted and keep tuned.
If you’re able to contribute as a dev though, give them some help to speed up the process and contribute to the best YouTube frontend alternatives projects !
What does SABR stand for? Searching proved to not be very fruitful.
Not sure either but one of the important chances is that Dash (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) is being replaced with a newer system on YouTube.
There are some good innovations in the replacement but its much harder to implement.
