They're very different. Mint is primarily a receptor blocker while saw palmetto is primarily a production blocker.
If you have no indications of high T, most likely you would not benefit from saw palmetto anyways, because it blocks the production only of the most powerful t - dht. But free T is all it takes to interfere with breast development.
If you block reception of that free T with mint, then you should free your estrogens and progesterone to do their work more efficiently.
I would not recommend anything that could actually prevent free T from being produced, because that'll short you on E as well. And I'd hesitate to suggest a pro-aromatase either, because you're really not out of range at all, just on the low end of in-range.
