I definitly like the SERVICE STATUS - OUTPUT|PERF format most. From time to time i have to run the plugins manually from the command line and it definitly helps. Also, like Holger already said, this is the most common format. When it comes to GUIs, i could imagine GUIs removing that state if they choose a color instead, but something the GUI should do, not the plugins.
