We have lots of comparisons of modes, but we don't but them side by side...how about a comparison list like this...
mode -|- thruhput in WPM -|- %error free -|- robustness (%error free at what SNR) -|- Bandwidth You might have to qualify this by using certain power levels and receiver sensitivity. This would answer lots of questions concerning which mode was best.

Hi Eli, I also assume you mean normal HF realtime QRP QSOs? A year ago, I would have said "CW". But Olivia (500/16) has surpassed CW for power efficiency. There are other "extremely slow" modes that are used for weak signal work, but mostly just to exchange one-way callsign/reports, and not in "realtime". Bonnie KQ6XA . Need a Digital mode QSO?
