According to my Harvard Dictionary of Music:

Harmony. The chordal(or vertical) structure of a musical composition, in contrast to counterpoint,i.e., the melodic(or horizontal) structure.

Counterpoint. "note against note" or by extension, "melody against melody," denotes music consisting of two or more lines that sound simultaneously.

You've provided no foundation (bassline), melody, or rhythmic structure, so it's going to be pretty hard for anyone to guess at which set is "better". You've also used very long note durations so it's actually rather difficult to even hear any progression.

Personally, I don't particularly like either one; I guess at least they're in key, which is better than what I hear from a lot of producers, but the sequences don't really resolve properly, or at least they don't seem to when they're out of context like this. Maybe with some context my answer would be different.

I don't know where you read that harmony was an "interaction between different melodies", but whoever wrote it was full of shit.

Well, the tempo for those was 92..lol Because the beat was 184. Its going to have a very fast jungle beat while the rest is rather mellow. Not sure if i will keep it at 92 however.

Use both.
Personally , I feel that the 2nd chord prog is better.

the distiction isn't always so clear. Harmony did come from counterpoint and most of the great composers did not see harmony as some static configuration but rather a collection of moving lines ( counterpoint) at a given moment.

I can't really give an opinion of the posted examples. There is no context. They weren't really progressions. Mostly a tonic chord with different voicing intermixed with chords that were still over the tonic pedal tone. There also isn't a melody so i really can't give you an answer.
