The outer joint. The turning stress is placed on the outer joint which causes divots to develop in the windows that that house the balls causing a clicking noise that usually is worse on a turn. The inner joint only has to account for suspension travel and is a different/ sliding design.
Take your car to a empty shopping mall lot. Go about 20 miles per our and make a fairly sharp right or left turn. There will be a clicking noise if the cv is going. Also check for Cv boot leaks or cracks.
