Is FFVII better on the PSX, or on the Steam version?

Like most games, you'll have a more informed opinion if you play it on the original platform, however the Steam version is fine.

Play the PC version if you want to install the New Threat Mod, for the vanilla experience go with the PSX version.

Personally FF7 will always look best on a CRT with the PS1 version because the backgrounds are forever stuck at a low resolution, so playing the PC version at a higher res looks kind of jank what with the high res models over low res backgrounds, but the Steam version has some advantages like a retranslation patch and some other decent mods. Just be sure to patch out the :O faces on the NPCs and don't fall for the graphics mod meme because they're all awful.

PS1, probably. Steam has a weird input bug that was in the original PC port and never fixed for the steam release where if you push buttons on the menu or in combat too fast (i.e. you push down and "use" at close to the same time), you'll actually skip down two options than one. It's not a widely reported issue and most people don't notice it (or recommend taking a second before selecting things), but it drove me nuts. It happens on both keyboard and controller.

I'm tempted to agree, but that's what OP asked.

It runs better on PSX and looks 'better' too - not that it's HD (like Steam is) but the way it was crafted looks better on PSX.

On Steam you get widescreen but the backgrounds look like shit. You want those backgrounds to be pretty. If you want the spirit bug fix you can also grab a patch for the PS1 version.

There are also script fixes but they are very few, and not everything is fixed. No there was not a retranslation like the FF Wiki states. No, Reunion isn't required to enjoy either.
