As both a filler and a reader, I prefer to post as comments and on AO3.
I think your best bet for getting the most readers/recognition would be to initially post the fic as onto the meme, then once any comments have died down, upload it to AO3 and post the link to the thread too.
Re: Posting fills directly to the meme vs. linking
Above anon is right for this being the best way to maximise comment-based attention.
As for what I do with my fills and why, well I post here as a comment always and sometimes cross-post to AO3 later. I don't always cross-post fills for a few reasons.
Namely, a fill I'm proud of that exactly fits a prompt doesn't always feel to me like it "stands alone" as a story in its own right. It would need to add more background that I can't be arsed filling in. My mini-fills are especially susceptible to this feeling. Also crack fills. Additionally, sometimes I tweak characterisation to fit a prompt and I kind of want to keep some consistency on my AO3 account.
I'm also less likely to cross-post straight up PWPs unless its a rare pair, and even then... But I usually will if someone specifically asks, even if I wasn't initially going to.
If I continue with a fill, especially beyond the bounds of the prompt, I will always cross-post. That's because the few times I've felt the inclination, OP has been silent on the matter of whether they'd be comfortable with me posting under their prompt when I've asked. So.
