Fast answer - you're over thinking this.
Looking to build a portfolio that's public is fine on either GL or GH. If a particular mentor will not work with you because you're on one platform vs another, then switch. But GL is a perfectly good platform to host your public portfolio if you like it.
Digging a bit deeper, this likely falls into the rabbit hole of optimizing something that doesn't matter.
Focus on creating things that teach you - move you forward. Either technically or solve a specific problem.
What could change the above answer is if you're looking to build OSS. Less about building a portfolio but more about pure number of eyes. For better or worse, GH is still more widely used so then I could recommend a switch.
