Doing a little reading it looks like MiniDV uses DV25 compression which has a constant data rate of 25Mbps. MPEG2 has a much lower data rate, doesn't it? Is that the reason for the better quality on MiniDV?

I'll just chime in too. As mentioned, if you are going to edit at all, go Mini-DV. That way you'll be working with uncompressed footage.
