I would split the distance and stay in Praiano. Or Ravello, up the hill from Amalfi (Ravello gets slightly less heat in the hottest months).

But of the two, depending on time of year, I would choose Positano.

Positano would be my choice
A far more impressive town than Amalfi

The town of Ravello is a must visit but if staying in Positano you can quite easily see both Amalfi and Ravello in one full day

I haven't been to Amalfi but we spend 3 nights in Positano at the end of a trip and just relaxed there and enjoyed the town immensely. We splurged on a room with a fabulous view and enjoyed breakfasts out there and late night sitting.
