Titen HD Screw Anchor vs. epoxied bolt
(OP)
I am retrofitting corner hold downs into a concrete slab. How would the holding strength compare between these two methods?

With your application, the capacities of either system will be drastically reduced by you edge distance, if I am understanding the sketch correctly.
I would say this is a time to consult your contractor or installer, judge their comfort level with either system and review the size of fastener needed and the edge distances required.
One note further, the installation process does seem to remove some of the galvanized coating from the anchors (no suprose there). So if the anchor would be subject to sufficient moisture - underwater or similar - it could pose a threat over time.
Best of luck,

corrosion shouldn't be too much of a problem since the galvanizing bridges over scuffed areas... also fastener is still surrounded by concrete with high pH.
