Neither system is worth spending money on, certainly not for your purposes.
You'll have far better results, even for 'very simple video editing' by going for a native G3 or G4 system, running OS X.
Prices on B&W and early G4 systems are plummeting with the advent of the Mini.
Heck, a G4 upgrade for the 9500 will set you back over half the cost of a Mini, let alone adding in the memory and drive space you're going to need.
