AMD versions gonna last you longer. Future proof ram, and a better overall cpu. Should be ok to stream as long as you mess around with your stream settings a bit.
The i5 12500H outperforms the R5 6600H though. The only advantage that Ryzen cpu has is in power efficiency, and I don't think streaming a game on battery is a good idea. You might as well go with the i5.
There's little benefit to DDR5 for gaming and streaming at the moment. Save a buck and go with the more mature DDR4, as early DDR5 isn't any better in comparison. (especially with DDR5-4800)
Heck, you can probably grab a model with more ram with that savings.By the time DDR5 makes any noticeable difference, you can't upgrade since it looks like the options are laptops.
And like I said:

With an RTX 3050 also, you get Nvidia's NVENC encoder which is a godsend if you're trying to stream with mid-tier setups.
You can probably get away with either configurations, as long as you keep your expectations (and thermals) in check.
