With results as shown on that graph, who cares? Just say, "They're all so close together it doesn't make a lick 'o difference which one you use." As a footnote you might add that Cathar's block kicks all their tails.
Or how about, "Given the skill required for a good paste installation, the differences between blocks is below the threshold of significance."
To your original question, I think the proper answer is "flow" on the X-axis. Whether gph or lph doesn't much matter. The problem with pressure is that no one could or would measure delta-P on a block. What they can measure is overall system flow rate.
Whether you go with flow or pressure, you really need an additional graph that ties the two together. How is anyone to know how much delta-P (or flow) they will get with a given setup? At least with flow they can measure it. If they have your data directly in flow, great. If not, then they would need the second graph to tie flow to delta-P.

that the 'good' wbs have similar performance I would think is fairly well understood, given how often its been stated
(less than 0.5°C temp difference, below the threshold of computer user's measuring equipment)
likewise wrt the TIM joint influence, seemingly less understood (or accepted ?) despite even more repetitions
the conventional graphing is of pressure drop vs. flow, and "C/W" vs. flow; the above graph being simply a systhesis of the two into "C/W" vs. pressure drop,
- with the intent of looking at the specific efficacy of different wbs 'utilization' of the available head
(bearing also in mind that this article is on wb testing, as contrasted with WCing system 'design')
I'm kind of gathering that the potential interest group (wb designers) is so small (and also so unsophisticated) that the added complexity is not warranted
ah, well

anyone can get a rough handle on the rad pressure drop (and all other parts of their system) with a simple manometer
but other than Owenator no one has enough interest to do so
MDM
its your ISP, deal with it
the revised rad graphs are only at that link (same site)
if I can find a new hosting provider perhaps that will solve your difficulty

kind of what I too was thinking, and why I asked
