Well, Bob, if that is your question, then my best subjective answer is that the UCI gui which gives the most bang for the buck is the 'Shredder Classic' Gui which comes as a bonus with Shredder7. Chessbase's own player gui has had spotty results and changed its UCI adapter several times over the years and has gotten beter. Observers like GCP have noted strange behavior of this GUI when handling UCI engines with tournaments against CB native engines. I am NOT versed enough in the minutiae of this to know if these reported problems have been fixed. I also like the ERT from lokasoft for testing engines, and the whole lokasoft interface for that matter-- although do not go that way if you want to use tablebases ( i might be wrong about this-- but their premier product does not integrate with tablebases, so why would they beef up the tablebase features in the gui??) These are just my prejudices, truely. I say this because I do not 'test the performance of GUIs.'Or the features of guis. Quite the opposite. I want to know what I can disable in order to increase the engine's cpu share and nodal (computational) speed. Among the features of guis that I do like are the histograms. Shredder classic even allows a memory dump in the gui.That means you can resume a very deep analysis after a breakpoint in your work. So if you want to do a 24 hour analysis of a epd position 'on the installment plan'-so to speak- then this would be my choice.very subjective here.
