15 year vs 30 year on 96K rental income

Hi all! I'm in process of closing on a 96k rental property and trying to decide btw 15 and 30 year mortgage.  Below are numbers:

Purchase price: 96,000
Down payment: 20%
Interest rate: 3.125% on 15 yr,  3.85 on 30 yr


Monthly payment on 15: $845
Initial portion towards interest: $208


Monthly payment on 30: $670
Initial portion towards interest: $257

I know the conventional thought is to always opt for the 30 year.  But with these numbers, does it make more sense to go for the 15 year?  Only about $100 once interest payment is deducted. Thanks in advance!
