There exist a quite large number of settings in a sim and different folk make different assumptions. In one comparison, for each number of decks, I ran sims for different rule sets and for different bet spreads for each strategy, and then multiplied the results for each by the percentages of the different rule sets that existed at that time to create weighted results. So, for four charts for the four numbers of decks, there were 12 strategies, 104 penetrations, 2 bet spreads and 16 rule sets for a total of 39,936 sets of conditions. I then plotted them by penetration.
On top of that, you must select the number and type of indices, deck estimations, TC integerization, and when TC is calculated. And then still, when looking at what is the best strategy for a particular person, we must take into account ease of use (which depends on how that person's brain works), and flexibility should the player wish to join team activities or use advanced methods. My opening statement in this study was "There have been numerous attempts at comparing strategies, and all are flawed — including this one. "

This thread has a good summary of SCORE. And I think SCORE is the best tool to compare different counting systems.
