You could do both: Make the channel optional. If it's provided, use that and return it. If it's not provided, create a new one and use and return that.
This way the caller gets to decide which they wish to use based on who the owner of the channel should be or if the channel should be reused elsewhere. For example, for a once-off call, creating s new channel may make more sense but if the function is called frequently it might make more sense to reuse one channel, especially if this channel is used with other plumbing like pub/sub or mult which you would otherwise need to set up every time.
