I would use my own domain, so that I have the control of my site. Why hand over the control to Medium or Wordpress.com?
Same thing with the SEO. Why give the SEO juice to Medium instead of your own personal domain?
Building a static site with e.g. Hugo or Jekyll is an appealing choice. If you want you can use Cloudfront + S3 to host it.
OTOH, Wordpress is very convenient to work with and quick to set up. If you don’t have a VPS there are shared web hosting sites that should be good enough in the beginning at least. Shared web hosting can also be used for static sites.
