For all intents and purposes river and glacial water is identical. What determines the speed of moving water is the grade down which it flows. The steeper the grade the faster the water flows. So whichever stream is the steepest, that stream will be the fastest.

Why do most rivers have wider channels than streams?

Streams are merely tributaries of rivers. A river is the wider channel into which smaller creeks, streams and rivers flow. (Streams do not flow out of rivers.) Streams carry water from higher sources, emptying into the river. As more streams empty into a river, it tends to become broader, simply because of the greater volume of water it is carrying.
