Sorry about missing this question earlier.
Assuming you run sufficiently large sample sizes, Monte Carlo mode is more accurate. For the ranges you selected the sample size should not be a big issue because these lines occur very frequently.
In your specific example the differences are mostly down to 3-way vs 4-way max. With the 3-max limit the remaining players (including in the blinds) will be forced to fold once 3 players actively enter the pot, that's regardless of those remaining player's hole cards. When you notice lines in the Math engine where the 3rd player still enters the pot with a relatively wide range then it's generally a good idea to calculate with MC mode instead and increase the active player limit.
Unlike the regular engine, Monte Carlo also considers folded card removal. This can make a considerable difference in some lines, especially in late position, but I don't think this is a big factor in the hand you posted.
