I'm working on getting our MRTG graphs to show both 95th and average calculations. *I* actually want to see the figures, too. I've never billed on 95th. Everyone needs to remember that the reason for a host to bill on 95th and not 50th is so they can generate more revenue. And... that's OK - hosts have huge infrastructure costs and it takes a healthy revenue stream to provide good service.
In the end, I would guess that most hosts have very similar pricing when you compare 95th to 50th. If a customer has huge swings up in bandwidth, there is little doubt that average billing will be to their benefit. If someone trends in a tight hi/low pattern then the difference might be very slim.
Choosing a host should always be about more than price! The customer support and network performance are what really make or break a host. I always suggest that people take their time and ultimately go with their gut feeling on where they think will be the better home.

P.S. - SinHost's pricing is about to decrease shortly for many of it's plans! Increase quality... decrease price!
