If the document is there on the website for you to see, like a picture of
the census, I would use both.  If the picture is not available you do not
know if they have made a mistake on recording the source without viewing it
first.  If it is just citing the document as a source use the website but
put the website's citation of the document as the comments in a citation
detail to your source of the Website.

I would use both. I would change the imported Master Source to read
something like ...

"A genealogy of the Quick family in America (as documented by
blah-blah-blah)"

... and mark the source as unverified. Then, when you get around to
verifying it, you can change the Master Source appropriately.

I'm sure other will offer additional suggestions. Use whichever works best
for you.
