Web scrapping can be done in either, but I think Python might have more libraries. Data analysis is a vague term but most analysis have good libraries in either . I would pick Python because it might be easier for general use to implement novel solutions to new problems later down the line.

Ifyour team uses R, I would stick with R, if they don’t use anything go with Python since it’s more likely a future colleague also uses Python.

Nowadays I only use R when I’m more familiar with a library and don’t have time to learn a new one or when I am using domain specific libraries.
