I don't think I could decide that.  To me the loss of his powers is 
nearly the same as death.  He would never be able to fully function 
in his chosen society again, never be able to hold even a basic job 
in it.  Never enjoy flying or participating in magical activities 
with his friends. He can't very well rejoin the muggle world, he's 
woefully unprepared for it. He'd be reduced to an object of pity in 
the wizarding world.  

Die or lose powers, for Harry it's death either way.
