I think for me it comes down to what I know:

Do I know what I'm looking for? Do I know what I know and what I don't know about this subject? If yes, I prefer text so I can jump to whichever part I need. If not, I prefer a video walkthrough where I might learn about pitfalls, what to do and not to do. I'm open to sitting through a video if I'm learning something new.
