If you are choosing between these two, ~/.emacs.d/init.el is
preferable. Because then you can put the whole .emacs.d into version
control separately from your home directory.
However keep in mind that Emacs 27 adds support for XDG-style
configuration directory, ~/.config/emacs/, which gives you the same
abilities as ~/.emacs.d with an added benefit of less clutter in your
home directory.
