Out of the two, nutrient agar will provide more information on the variety of bacteria that are in an environment. Nutrient agar is a better environment for bacteria and fungi to thrive in.
Agar is a type of gelatinous substance obtained from seaweed, used as a culture medium in laboratories and as a thickening agent in food. Broth typically does not contain agar unless specifically added to it as a thickener.

Polymyxin B is the agar and broth that is used for bacillus cereus for cultivation.
Proving the purity of a culture is typically faster on agar plates compared to broth cultures. On agar plates, individual colonies of a single organism can be easily distinguished and isolated, whereas in broth cultures, contaminants or multiple organisms may not be as easily visualized.

Bacteria will typically grow more abundantly in broth compared to agar. This is because broth provides a liquid environment with easy access to nutrients, encouraging faster growth of bacteria, while agar is a solid medium that offers less available nutrients and may restrict bacterial growth.

In our lab we use LB agar, LB broth, and 2XYT broth.

The agar will solidify and form a gel-like substance in the nutrient broth. This agar-nutrient mixture is used as a solid medium for growing and isolating bacteria in a laboratory setting.

If your colonies were grown in broth, you can simply use your loop to collect loopfuls of liquid medium and smear that onto a glass slide. If they were grown on an agar plate you would have to add a few drops of water to the surface of the glass slide.
