A discussion is always better, because its outcome is not pre-defined. A discussion is supposed to lead to the BEST solution of a given problem or clarification of a misunderstanding, accepted by all engaged parties, based on healthy communication and proper exchange of ideas, information, opinions as part of exchanging one party's viewpoint to the other.
An argument is less effective in most cases, but can be necessary depending on the counterpart's openness to calm discussion. It is less effective because its goal is pre-defined. It is mostly an incorrect selfish form of communication aimed at convincing the other party of one's points of views, legitimizing the use of irrational communication (shouts, interruptions, unmeant disagreements, lack of reflection, manipulation of facts etc.).
An argument is at its best when it means "a reason given in proof or rebuttal", as part of a discussion.

Excellent definition of argument vs discussion.
I posted this as I am frequently told that I "just want to argue" when
in fact the persons accusing me of arguing does not listen when I say that we are discussing
a subject. I tell them I am not arguing, simply attempting to find accurate information that is
right so we can do the right things.
Arguments are initiated by all knowing narcissists who often believe something based
upon the individual's feelings, emotions or prejudices, a set of programmed statements taught by
their parents and other family members, generalizations about a subject even when
something happens only once.
Convinced that their opinion is fact, they refuse to listen to any comment that differs from
what they believe and proceed to tell me I am argumentative.
Anyone else's point of view is blocked from their mind. Discussion is not possible.
