You won't get many pilots complain if you pick the one that requires the largest fuel burn.

If that compromises your load stick on the Plog the lowest and the highest burn and let the pilot choose using the Wx given.

I am a TP pilot so it might be different for the Jet boys. But I would be chuffed as hell if ops had the fore thought to included both figures and which runway they were for.

Eventually after a couple of cancelled flights in a month of LVP's my old company ops managed to get pilot brief to include the sector fuel for 8 different alternates. I don't think they even realised how useful it was.
