ETFs or Dividend Portfolio for long term

Hello,

So I'm recently new(17 years old) into investing and have around 1500$ that I wanted to invest. I have read up upon what I could put it into and day trading is something I would rather steer clear of. That leaves me with either long term ETFs, like vanguard, or a long term dividend portfolio. Which one would be better suited for me.

Thank you in advance.

EDIT – The dividend portfolio I'm talking about aren't dividend ETFs. It's a portfolio run by Joseph Carlson. Is it still worth cause I looked at returns from last 5 years and the dividend port have almost 40% higher
