I wouldn't put a pair of holy talismans, as he doesn't have m(any?) skills that do magic damage. It would be a waste to use up a slot with talisman that caps hp at 1100 hp and 114 Def vs. Another health (overwhelmimg) thatcaps out at 6800 hp and 114 Def.. I have tested mummy Eddie extensively and I can assure you he does more damage with a boosted health (and survives better) than if he had Holy talismans with a large Magic stat.
To also answer your other question, physical damage is mitigated by enemy DEF stat, while true damage ignores Def and magic Def, making true damage the best form of damage. The reason I say this is that your true damage will always hurt the amount it's support to hurt even if fighting an enemy with high defensive stats (like pharaoh dog king). The physical damage will do less against characters with high DEF (most characters have higher Def than magic def).
