D5100 probably. I have a D5300 and it looks awesome if you can keep the iso down.

I Have a 5200 and really enjoy it. Will be awhile before I upgrade.

 

Cannon is generally recommended for Video, though. 

 

However, what I would recommend of either, is to buy body only, and get a good lens. If you don't need zoom, get a Nikon or Cannon 35 or 50mm (depending on what you're looking for). They will look much better than the kit lens....

Canon, because Magic Lantern and it's infinite customization. I have the T3i/ 600D, bought it just body, 50k frames taken for 300$, but the prices in my country are nuts.. Also you can record RAW video. Yes, 14-bit color , RAW video. AWESOMEEE. You'll need  a killer 95 mb/s card tho.

Sorry just to clear up some things.

The t3i will never be able to record raw video and even if it could, processing times for raw video are horrendously long. For YouTube raw video is not needed. You want fast h.264.
