If I was all about the numbers, I'd want to start with whichever car makes them easiest, wouldn't you?
People might go, "Oh, 5 extra hp/tq doesn't mean anything. They failed again." But what if that leads to an extra 20whp just because they changed the right stuff?
I dunno though. This seems like a unique way to look at it to me. I do that sometimes and people just shake their heads at me.

If they made 20 more WHP with a 5HP tweak there are a pile of tuners that have some explaining and refunding to do!
In the overall scheme of things you can have a more than a 5HP gain or loss depending on where you bought your fuel, how dirty your air filter is or even what the weather conditions outside are. In other words it means nothing to anybody other than the armchair number watchers.
