I've never heard anything nice about the Earps from legitimate sources. The penny dreadfuls cleaned them up to the point where Wyatt got a full Hollywood funeral, but that's just Hollywood.

Holliday more or less lived up to his reputation. As a gambler, he pretty much had to be a skilled gunfighter. Historians agree that he never lost the 'southern gentleman' demeanor.
The film took liberties with him as well, though. He didn't kill Johnny Ringo for example, and - like the Earps - he was somewhat shady when it came to law and order (fined and jailed several times for illegal gambling, and so forth).
