If they mean the same thing, then I'd say "configuration" is definitely
the way to go.
It is true that some Emacs terms might be unfamiliar to new users, but
thanks to the excellent documentation capabilities it's very easy to
learn the respective definitions (e.g., in this case 'C-h r i
configuration' will display the relevant manual entries). It is
important to stay consistent.
