P\'al's isominwidth inequality (1921) answered the Kakeya needle problem (1917) for convex sets. It states that among convex bodies of fixed minimum width $w$ in the Euclidean plane, the regular triangle has minimal area. The isominwidth inequality was generalized to the $2$-dimensional sphere by Bezdek and Blekherman and Freyer and Sagmeister (arXiv:2411.11462). Interestingly, in hyperbolic space, no minimizer exists, as shown by B\"or\"oczky, Freyer and Sagmeister (arXiv:2502.04427). The stability of the Euclidean P\'al inequality with respect to the Hausdorff metric and the symmetric difference metric was proved by Lucardesi and Zucco (arXiv:2405.18294). Fodor, Robock and Sagmeister (arXiv:2602.19300) proved $r$-ball convex analogs of the isominwidth inequality in all three constant curvature planes connecting P\'al's theorem with the Blaschke--Lebesgue inequality. In this paper, we prove optimal stability versions of this statement with respect to the Hausdorff distance and the symmetric difference metric in all three constant curvature planes.
