At this point I'm thinking BLUR is the better spell because you could potentially lose all of your images in one round vs. multi attack or several attackers...

Am I reading that wrong? https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Mirror_Image

And as far as Firebolt, I am assuming that eventually I'll get that 6th level of sorcerer and add the +3 to fire damage there.

You're not wrong, the Spell is different from what it once was in the older games. Mirror Image gives +9 AC total with 3 images (3×3=9). It also doesn't require Concentration. If a creature misses on hitting you, then it served it's purpose. No? Each miss against you does indeed dispels an image lowering the AC boost bit by bit. 3 misses and it's gone. Mirror Image comes in handy in case you are already concentrating on a spell. You can only concentrate on one spell at a time.

Blur is also useful, it poses disadvantage from attackers which gives you a 2d20 roll, using the highest value in a defensive roll, also this doesn't exceed 2d20 and there for doesn't stack with similar disadvantage rolls. Just something to keep in mind. Also Blur is a Concentration spell and can be used with Mirror Image if you wanted.

As for firebolt, I dunno. I'll have to read more into Sorcerer if they do get a small boost like that.
