First let me say you have a very pleasing vibrato in your singing.

Don't know which was which but the second one sounded better. One thought that came to mind especially in the first version is that since you have such a low voice that perhaps harmony an octave higher, maybe female voices would have made that sound good compared to sounding pretty muddy. You may want to have less harmony parts. I'd be curious to hear it as a duet and certainly no more than a trio. Often, less is more.
