ok then
tough i did notice that capitalization (when not using japanese characters) is considered a different tag so i worry its going to be the same issue here
All you can do is search each tag variation and see how many results you get. If they're aliased it should give you the same amount. In this case ネズミの神さま has 312 results:

And ネズミの神様 has 39:

I'd go with ネズミの神さま, but you can use both if you want to be thorough.
What it boils down to is some people use the hiragana form when tagging their images, other people use the kanji one, and some will even use both. Pixiv has no control over that, so unless they notice and alias the two, you get situations like this. Neither's necessarily "better," but it appears more people use the hiragana form than the kanji one.
