As the title suggests, I am looking to buy either a nuc with that celeron or building a pc with the athlon 3000g. I am planning to run maybe 2-3 vm's (Ubuntu server, debian)
. How would the performance be for each?

Intel Celeron... not much data on it. Whitch one exactly? 2 or 4 threads?
For performance check overall benchmarks. I guess we won't predict exact performance on your specific needs. VM OS is one thing. What will it run is another...

I'd go 4-thread celeron I suppose. BTW: double check supported virtualization protocols. I'd go intel...
PS. How 'bout considering 4-core cpu (pentium) instead?

Sorry forgot to mention the exact model. Its an Intel Celeron J4005
 
What's the main purpose for your build? Is it just a homelab or what?
In both cases... why not a refurbished one like
-Lenovo M72e
-Lenovo M93p
-MINI HP Elite 8300 USDT
-Dell OptiPlex 3010
and so on... plenty too choose from.

Or anything with i5-2500s like cpu (4 core). I suppose this old 2nd gen will work way better than both celeron/athlon you've posted. Obviously virtualization supported.

Yeah it's just a homelab nothing too serious. Just found an intel nuc with a 4 core pentium silver j5005, 8gb of memory and a 240gb ssd. I think that sounds good

I think it will do just fine (at least for lightweight VMs/CTs)
