The distance would be more or less the same but Ankara would be better i would say, You can stay in Ankara the night and rent a car to the sites its better that way as the sites are in a very remote area with no other ways to access them, i stayed in Corum and took a car to the sites, a half a day is good enough and there are a couple of museums as well in that vicinity which are worht a visit so i would say go in the morning and leave around evening would be a good plan. Safe travels..
