The moon would prove to be better, we could learn a lot of new things and also it might help us grow as a space race
In September 2000, US Air Force Sergeant Karl Wolfe testified while working at a National Security Agency facility on Langley Air Force Base in Virginia in July of 1965 -- he was shown photographs taken by the Lunar Orbiter -- of a base on the backside of the Moon.

The article says, "He is concerned that if the Earth were destroyed...". I'm assuming that he means an impact so massive that earth would never be able to recover. I imagine that nothing we build here could survive something like that... no matter how deep.

As long as the moon isn't hit with any debris from the impact on Earth (which is unlikely), then any "repository" on the moon would probably have a better chance of survival. However Taibunsuu, as you've pointed out, there probably wouldn't be any survivors left to do anything with the repository anyway lol.
If the Earth were "destroyed", what WOULD you do with a repository of DNA?
