Technically, neither.
He causes loss of life, and does not deal damage. Furthermore, commander damage only counts if its combat damage. Any other form of damage won't do, I'm afraid.
104.3j (http://imtgapp.com/forum/index.php?action=imtg;area=rule;number=104.3j): In a Commander game, a player that's been dealt 21 or more [/b]combat damage[/b] by the same commander over the course of the game loses the game. (This is a state-based action. See rule 704. Also see rule 903.14.)
Bolded for emphasis.
