For ruby-core, I think they should stay consistent and subclass Test::Unit::TestCase (just to be less confusing).

There are some exceptions... rubygems and rdoc for example imports all of its tests from an external repo, and we use minitest directly. But for non-imported tests, I think test/unit is less confusing.
