Which would be the more appropriate way to notate slurred/tied stacked notes that are moving?

Having only some notes within a chord tied is technically possible but not really recommended, and when combined with slurs, I'd recommend against it. Better to use multiple voices, I think.

But FWIW, your top example looks like a typo and would cause me to have no earthly idea of what you wanted me, even on closer examination. Second example is ugly but clearer. But that's just my opinion.
