I have seen the name of this episode listed both as "The Cloud
Miners" and "The Cloud Minders". Can someone who really knows
clue us all in as to which of these is the correct title?

Actually, logic ("Mr. Spock, report to the bridge...")
can be used to figure it out, independent of any source.
I wasn't sure based on memory alone.
The Miners were the ones on the ground, not in the air.
The ones in the clouds certainly did no mining.
However, Cloud *Minders* could be either minders (patrons,
caretakers, etc.) who lived in the clouds, or ones whose
minds were in the clouds (Earth calling Droxine, Earth
calling Droxine...). Both of these interpretations fit, actually.
That leaves us with the title being "The Cloud MINDERS".

Since he wrote it, I assume he knows. Incidentally, The posting to which I am responding is the only place I have seen the other spelling.
