For me, I think I've got 1 or 2 games on Origin and a good few hundred on Steam. So I try to go for Steam when I can to try to have as many games accessible through one launcher as possible (also got a handful on each of GOG's and Ubisoft's own launchers).
Might be worth checking if you need an internet connection to play on either. Steam is generally fine to play offline in my experience, but with Origin being an EA platform, I wouldn't be surprised if that needed to be online in order to verify that it's a legit licence every time you want to play.

CDKeys is a reseller, they've always been reliable for me but there's a chance the key you buy is fake or stolen and may get blocked at some point. Also you should check the details because sometimes you're not buying a code but a steam/origin account that has the game assigned.
If you're talking about this one it looks fine.Mick covered the origin/steam bit.

Is there a reason I should pay double for Steam version?
Never losing access to it and having all games in one place is why I use Steam.
I find if I buy a game outside of Steam that I never pick it up after playing it a while. But inside Steam the discoverability is there even after several machine migrations and I always dip in.
The premium is slight on expensive games, but you've found an extreme example by comparing a reseller to Steam. I'd still buy from Steam.

Just got a new laptop and I fancy getting all nostalgic and playing OG command and conquer. I see there is a 2020 remaster (that looks like C&C and Red Alert, but slightly polished)
On CDkeys it is £4 "on origin" and £8 "on Steam"
When I were a lad, you bought a game, installed and played it.
I am aware that launchers now exist, but haven't used one.
