Which would be better, an I3-9100F (4 core) or a Ryzen 5 1600 (6 core) for a homelab (alien.top)

As the title says, I’m making a home lab and have these two cpus laying around, my question is is which would be better for a home lab, would having the extra 2 cores be beneficial?

If you're going to use this for a hypervisor then definitely the six cores. If you had at least six cores then I would say you want to go with the higher single core performance especially if you do stuff like compiling.
