(OP)
Equotip (assuming proper calibration and trained tester) vs Brinell hammer: Any ideas on which is more accurate for testing the hardness? Thanks in advance.

Both methods are portable methods that I like to think of as estimating the hardness. How close the estimate is to the actual value can be very operator dependent with either method.

With few exceptions I would not endorse hardness testing by a person who does not know the metallurgical implications of the test, the possible sources of error, and the limitations of each method/tester.
I probably haven't helped you much here ...
