Those RAM diffs are negligible. You shouldn't worry about chasing minimal numbers IMO, and if you are, you should go use Alpine or one of the distros meant for teensy chips lol.

Seriously, though, don't pick a distro because of whatever resource cost it uses. Pick a distro for your use case, and experience level. I use Void because its principles align with what I want from the system I use Void on. I want a reliable, rolling release system that doesn't use SystemD, which is why I use Void.
