I'd need to know a lot more about context to venture anything with
confidence.  For now let me just say that 'counterword' has a greater range
of possible meanings.  'The counterculture' is definitely in opposition to
'the culture'; but a counterpart of some person or thing is not necessarily
in opposition to that person or thing.  My guess is that there is more open
opposition in words beginning with 'anti' than in words beginning with
'counter'.  

But this is only a first thought!
