Went with Hero Reveal, that shot has more patience to it and makes the ocean feel earned rather than just shown. The 3D object opening is clean too, but it reads more like a product demo than a showreel intro.
3D Object feels like the safer bet for a showreel hook, but Hero Reveal could differentiate you more if the timing lands. Is the comment section actually split the way the vote count suggests, or is one side louder than the numbers show?

I would open on the Hero Reveal. A reel has about two seconds to earn attention, and a brand moment reads faster than a 3D object the viewer still has to decode.
