Hi C.C. Would you recommend sticking a) video or b) copy on a landing page or Home page?

Both.

You of course want to have copy there from a pure SEO standpoint, but also remember that people may come to it when watching a video is not a good thing for them and you want to provide as much information as possible.

Video of course is great because people enjoy watching videos and if you format it properly it can play on most modern devices.
