Hi Jeff! Form personal experience, we've seen out company's and clients' videos rank better with the YouTube URL than through their URL on personal websites. Like Linda said, YouTube has a very high domain authority and because of this, is more likely to rank at the top of organic listings than if the video was hosted through your site.
