Currently Witcher 3 GOTY is on sale here on GOG and also on Steam, for the same price, and I'm pondering which one to get.
Sometimes GOG Connect allows to get a game that I own on Steam into my GOG library.
My question is, if I aim to have them on both libraries, isn't it better to buy on Steam instead of here? Or do I get a Steam key in addition, if I buy it here?

If you aim to have the game on both platforms you must buy two copies. Read the EULA.

Or do I get a Steam key in addition, if I buy it here?
No. Steam is not Galaxy. Galaxy is not Steam. They compete.

If i did not own the witcher 3 already on Steam with all expansions i would buy the Witcher 3 GOTY version here on GoG as you get a 3 € discount for your next purchase, while you don't get such a thing at Steam by spending the same amount of money which is right now 19.99 €. So you have to decide what suits you better.

How do you explain gog connect? gog.com/connect
Witcher 1 and 2 have been available through that at some point iirc.

GOG Connect is a special case, and games are only available for a very limited time. It's very poorly supported.
