Modern day "minimal" comes form both techno and house, and you do find that a lot of it is the more house style (maybe as it has become more popular and "mainstream" thus house is more acceptable to the average listener than techno).
Personally I prefer the more techno end of minimal, such as Dapayk, Afternoon Cofee Boys, Camea, Tony Rohr, Sweet N Candy etc. Still comes under the umbrella term of Minimal, but definitely more from the techno end of the spectrum.
