I am always wrestling with if I'm writing a prose poem or a lineated poem. What is usually different in a prose poem, I think, is more imagination than you see in most lineated poems. Actually, there should be some pushback to prose poems being primarily wild leaps of imagination while often ignoring any notion of theme or development. It's like free jazz, which I admire and value but don't think should be exclusive. What you give up writing prose poems is using syntax, which is maybe the sharpest tool you have writing non-met poetry. Syntax is rhythm and I find it difficult to give it up. At this point, I'm writing poems that feel like prose poems in terms of the narrative and unexpectedness, but I am not willing to give up syntax most of the time as of now. Maybe that's where I should be.
Sorry to go on about me but I find it relevant to your question. I lean toward your lineated for the reasons I've mentioned. One caveat is the Sphere's long lines undercut a prose poem's effect, so factor that in but regardless I still prefer the lineated.
I have nothing specific to add to Matt's thorough comment.
