I think the two theories could coexist actually. Cause we do have evidence of subduction. The fact that they newest part of the sub-atlantic shelve is smoother nearer to that fault line and rockier near edges of the continent could mean that as stress was placed on the older rock it crumbled as it was being pushed away faster than the plates were shifting to accommodate the new land.
