Where would they fit better?
For the record i am not a big 2 loyalist and i love the new Valiant. I am just curious.

Neither. If something like Harbinger went to Marvel ot Dc it would instantly be labeled as a X-men knock off and I bet they wouldn't put any big talent on it. And something Archer & Armstrong is just too Indy-ish to fit in the big 2

Are we talking now, or during the '90s? Because with the talent DC had in the '90s, characters like Solar, X-O, and Shadowman would have definitely had a better chance at DC, and something like Harbringer could have pushed out a lame-duck Titans book and focused on a younger generation of new heroes, although Toyo Harada wouldn't be the all-encompassing adversary for the universe like he was at Valiant. Imagine, say, Grant Morrison on Solar.
Now? I guess Marvel since they are willing to let books stand on their own and develop their own identity, but I don't think either is really a good fit.
Probably get introduced as their own Earth with DC. Might see Rai with the Legionnaires, the Immortal Brothers on the fringes of DC continuity, Harbinger somewhere in with the Teen Titans, Shadowman in the Justice League and Bloodshot as a solo hero or put into one of the more covert teams. Outsiders? Elite? Batman, Inc? Something like that...
Honestly, they would put out one or two mini's and the shelf them for eternity.
Only reason they would buy a competitor's characters is to remove them from the market.
I think we only need to look at what happened to the Milestone and Red Circle characters at DC, or the CrossGen characters at Marvel, to answer this question...
