Honestly who cares?...both are invented concepts. Either way you're looking to improve your self image in either case. You say "they" argue about which is which, but what matters more is how YOU define it for yourself and go about cultivating and expressing the quality that you're looking to enhance within yourself.
There's validity to the fact that self-esteem is fleeting because by definition it means how good you feel about yourself...that "good" feeling could be low or high. Self-worth is holding yourself in high regard no matter what; whether you make a mistake or do well at something, whether you're skinny or fat, etc.
You'd be better off saving yourself some mental energy by setting the goal to view yourself as a high value person and take actions to cement that feeling in my opinion.
