Which model should I use?
Questions people actually ask, answered by a query rather than an opinion. Each page states its criterion, shows both figures on every row, and lets you re-sort if you disagree.
We never rank by anything we have not measured or read from a named source. There is no sponsored placement here and there never will be: a paid ranking would end the only thing this site sells.
