I believe they both count. Suicide was more of an influence on No Wave, though. Many of the no wave musicians, such as Lydia Lunch, were inspired by them to take part in the New York music scene at that time. So, I suppose they were apart of the early No Wave movement, while Sonic Youth was in the later part of it.

I learned that from that Kill Your Idols documentary which was very informative of the movement. I strongly suggest some of you check it out.
