For a 15 second autonomous period , encoders will be much more reliable then dead reckoning with a accel and gyro. However over longer distances than a 15 second autonomous period, encoders will drift without a secondary sensor to update position. You could invest in a magnetic compass from spark fun and only rely on encoders for linear motion. I've had good results with a compass and encoders.
I suggest a
compass from Spark Fun,
