Just a couple more things Evan. Keep in mind that normally in a smaller phone factor comes less battery life. I would say that both phones have decent battery life, but nothing compared to the bigger phones. Of coarse, battery life is dependent on how much the phone is used every day. The second thing is, and you did not say this mattered, but the iphone SE uses touch ID and has a home button, and the iphone 13 uses face ID and has no home button. Just a couple of things that you should keep in mind when looking at the different iphones.
I would say that both the iphone 13 mini and the iphone SE will work good for you for several years and I would guess 4 to 5 years depending on usage and how good the battery life holds up. It is said, that the reason the mini is no longer in the lineup of the new phones is because of sales. And I personally think that having two iphones at the smaller form factor is why the mini is going away. The SE is a very popular model, and the SE sales is a lot more, and this is probably because the price of the SE is less than the mini. So I do not think either phone is a bad choice. Like anything else, it comes down to personal preference.
