OP - answer is "it all depends"
1) IF you need a space cooled enough to spend a lot time the garage for hobbies, wor,kshop, etc, get the mini-split
2) IF you want something just to remove stifling heat (and ventilate your attic too), get the garage fan. It will be a tad cooler than the outside air because it's in the shade plus there's a breeze. I run mine 24/7 in hot weather and I'm in the garage quite a bit.
