Would it be best to use a guitar or bass amp for a baritone?

I'd imagine a guitar amp would work. I'm no expert though.

You need a baritone amp but there isn't one. Actually I'd go with a large speaker guitar amp that has good lows like a Twin. The reason being is you often want to use effects like reverb, chorus and etc on a baritone. Effects aren't available on hardly any bass amp. Also the pickups on a baritone guitar are closer to guitar pickups than bass pickups. That should be a clue too. Naturally I'm not suggesting a 10 watt Frontman, but a big speaker model with some juice.

Excelsior.

sorry after seeing the video I had to say it, but yeah it is a nice little amp with a 15 inch speaker. Should be able to handle it.
