A residual plot, since it plots the residuals against the predictor variable, while the scatterplot plots the reponse variable agains the predictor variable.
Advantages:
Pattern of the deviations of the observed values to the predicted variables is more clear
Curvatore/Nonlinearity is more obvious.
Nonconstant standard deviations are more obvious.
