Short answer: both are discontinued, and they are rated the same for sound quality (#4 and #5 of 62 small speakers). Either one is only an option used, so choose on condition and price. If you want one new, the Minirig Mini 2 replaces the Minirig Mini and is rated 4.4/5 at $100.
Buy the Minirig Mini or the Tribit Stormbox Micro, whichever you find used in better condition; both are discontinued. For a new speaker, buy the Minirig Mini 2, which replaces the Minirig Mini.
There is a real gap in water resistance: the Tribit Stormbox Micro at IP67 (brief submersion) against the Minirig Mini, which has Splash resistant (splashing).

A now discontinued tiny speaker with very neutral sound and unusually deep bass for its size, worth buying used.
A discontinued strap on mini speaker with quite neutral sound and waterproofing, still worth buying used for bikes and bags.
