Wordpress (and wordpress.org not wordpress.com). This allows you to control the website where the content is listed and then you can make money from it using Adsense or other methods mentioned here by people.
Like Mr Positive said too, then you can repost your articles on Medium and get the best of both worlds.

I'd recommend you wordpress though... Gaining audience on medium might look easier right now but it's not.

This ^ so you control the blog and don't wake up one morning to see it's vanished.
Cheap hosting, free theme and plugins if you're on a budget.

Why would you blog on Medium? That's like planting tomatoes in your neighbor's garden. Yes you can harvest them, but they're not yours.

Start with WordPress so that you have full control. Even in monetisation, you will have to share with medium some amount.

If I was at your place, I would have chooses WordPress. There are so many plugins and it can also be easily customised.

Medium is not yours. The owner can remove you anytime. Build your own blog.

Start with WordPress. It is owned and managed by you, you are responsible for all updates and maintenance to your website, unless you take advantage of managed WordPress hosting.

Like everyone has already said it's best to have both. You can actually syndicate posts from wordpress directly to Medium.
Now I have experience with both so I'm just commenting to let you know that (to me) it is worth the extra effort posting to medium.
I post very rarely, once a month or so. I have about 10 readers per my 10 articles per week. And that results in about $5 per month. Which is nothing, but suggests potential. However my WP blog get's some of that attention which makes my WP blog grow simultaneously.
Also a tip is use Medium groups on Facebook. You can grow pretty fast on medium if you want to. But it's also highly saturated, and by many regarded an untrustworthy source. Things to keep in mind.
