I don't pay for either but I use both and the youtube music desktop ui is really really bad. Plus the annoying thing of it often playing music videos instead of the normal song. I definitely like it better on mobile though

You can toggle video or song. I actually like yt music way more because it can play pretty much anything on YT, including hours and hours of mixes you won't find on Spotify.

You can't really toggle video or song though, you can toggle video or thumbnail to video with video audio

I've had a different experience. When I have it on video, it'll play the music video version, and when I have it on song, it'll play the studio version. Maybe that doesn't work for every song, but it definitely has worked that way for me.
