I don't know enough about the filter values to say which is better. I would leave that to you and the PNG team to decide which, if they agree to present this information in a new version of libpng.

It's not a libpng matter but a PNG format matter. The PNG format doesn't store the info you are wanting. As I said, you can make some guesses, but that's not a libpng matter either, but something that could be done in ImageMagick, just as ImageMagick guesses about the JPEG quality. Counting the filter types used is just a matter of examining the PNG file as pngcrush or pngcheck does.
