I agree with Quasiperfect in choosing more accurate over more true. I will add that when I find myself in a position to ask someone to pick one of two words, I will often say things like "which one is preferred?" or "which one is better style?" or simply "which one do you think is better?".
"More true" is always wrong, as truth is (supposed to be) an absolute. Sometimes I'll ask "which one is more correct" even though correctness, like truth, is an absolute. It would be better to ask "which one is correct?". Like many things in English, there are a lot of different ways to ask the question, each with their own subtly nuanced difference. If you provide more of an example I can give you more direction.
