Make sure there's a strong central location -- your own domain -- but then post the videos anywhere and everywhere with calls to action back to that site. Use the aggregated views across sites from spec content to raise the prices on the next round of episodes, and use the traffic back to your site to sell banner ads. Even if you're not looking to make money, making sure that any publicity goes back to a site you control is key.

I'm not sure which is more popular at the moment, although I don't believe any of these sorts of services demands exclusive rights to your video material so a person could likely upload to several sites and generate some revenue from each.
