처음 뵙겠습니다 respectfully states that this is the first meeting. 만나서 반갑습니다 expresses that you are pleased to meet the person.
The first is especially useful in formal introductions, business meetings, interviews, and meetings with someone senior. The second works across formal and ordinary polite introductions.
They are not mutually exclusive. A complete formal introduction can be 안녕하세요. 처음 뵙겠습니다. 만나서 반갑습니다.
In a warmer everyday meeting, 안녕하세요. 만나서 반가워요 may be enough. Choose the formality of the entire introduction, not one phrase in isolation.
