To add to my colleague Dan Obermiller's comment, have you thought about the best tool to use to answer the practical problem at hand? Rather than just focusing on the tool alone? In almost every instance I'm analyzing data I start with framing the practical problem first...which leads me to the analysis tool I'll ultimately choose. That's the beauty of the JMP Graph Builder...lots of different ways to display the same data. Some, I suspect, will be much more effective at answering the practical problem.
I try to encourage people to think about the practical problem first, then the audience (if the visualization is beyond there ability to comprehend...well it's not the 'best') for the visualization (even if it's YOU alone) and then pick the appropriate technique.
