Mineral Spirits and Naphtha labeled products will vary by manufacturer. 
Surprisingly naphtha will generally have the higher flash point of 140F+, 
while mineral spirits often is around 100F. The +140 flash is the limit for 
a "safer" hazmat classification. Best to check MSDS properties for the 
particular brand available to you. http://hazard.com/msds/

That said, either will work.
