Accuracy? We're talking about a gun that at best can be held using two fingers of a man's size of hand. I don't think gains in barrel related accuracy really enter into it.... Just get whichever you like the looks of. I've only shot a derringer (about the same size as the Mini) once but it was pretty much a minute of dinner plate at 6 yards sort of deal due to the issues with holding onto something this small. And until I learned to hold it with a thumb along the barrels it was more like Minute of Window sized groups of two.
My own taste gravitates to The Earl as a gun that can be held onto more securely if you're also going to be looking for fairly consistent accuracy in a gun that would see semi frequent use. It also doesn't hurt that it strongly resembles a baby verson of my 1858 Remington percussion revolvers.
