I guess the /etc/mtab is more trustable. But, you not anymore speaking about hardware detection here... I think that everything which is beyond hardware detection is purely magic and shouldn't be trusted because for one type of detection if it fit few users, it won't fit many.
And anyway, in the case you are considering, make oldconfig is probably the one to use.
