Keep in mind that if you measure collision rates on the host and on the network device, you are really measuring two very different things (unless you really have a hub rather than a switch); it's not a choice about where to measure the data, but rather about what, exactly, you are interested in. That is because a switch establishes individual data paths.
Therefore, a host will only see its own collisions. A switch will see all collisions with its neighbors.
