Bottom line
Whichever tenant you already pay for. There is no meaningful winner here.
The short answer
Same job, different tenant. Gmail's server is a community project with a token you generate yourself; Microsoft 365's needs an Azure app registration and admin consent. The second is more work to set up and more likely to be blocked by policy — which is also a signal about how sensitive the mailbox is.
