Judging specs just by specs is not going to get you the best solution. For best results, I recommend having a knowledgeable tech take a look at your set up and making a recommendation based on what you have going on. Tweaking is always possibility to make things run better for you as well.

We'd be happy to do this for you as well if you like, just let me know.

Shooting from the hip…

I would not use either of those setups.

Go with something like this:
E3
32 GB of RAM, maybe 64
2 x SSD drives, 120 GB range would likely be fine for your needs
I'm looking at this server as a replacement atm.

CPU: Intel i7-7700K OC - 4c/8t - 4.7GHz /5GHz
RAM: 64GB DDR4 2400 MHz
Disks: SoftRaid 2x 450GB NVMe
Traffic: 250 Mbps bandwidth (burst 1 Gbps ) unlimited
