You may also be interested in a paper by Tipper (2001,THE QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY, 2001, 54A (2), 321–343) which argues that the inhibitory and episodic retrieval (memory-based) accounts are not necessarily incompatible.
Another paper you might be interested in is by Neumann, E., McCloskey, M.S., & Felio, A.C. (1999). Cross-language positive priming disappears, negative priming does not: Evidence for two sources of selective inhibition. Memory & Cognition, 27, 1051-1063.
It's the only paper I am aware of that clearly pits opposing predictions between the memory-based and inhibitory accounts. Inhibition wins out in a decisive manner. I've attached a copy in case you are interested. Good luck with your research.
