That depends on what you're trying to use trjconv for, but probably the first 
.tpr file is what you want, since it would have been for the entire simulation 
if you had not had problems, right?

Well, using the checkpoint mechanism is the more accurate (and easy!) way to go, 
so I don't know why you didn't use this feature...
