Let me respond this way...


Taken alone, without consideration of other factors, both velocity and energy are poor predictors of anything.

If I had to choose, with no other knowledge, I would choose energy as the predictor for the damage a bullet could do.

For a bullet of a given diameter, I'll again choose energy over velocity as the predictor because energy includes both mass and velocity.

For a bullet of a given mass and construction, there is no difference between using the two.
