I say main page as it is the default view when you visit 
http://shootout.alioth.debian.org.

The shootout is a great marketing tool. This can be evidenced by the 
many people who have learned of O'Caml through Bagley's original 
shootout.  Considering the default view of the website, it is a great 
advantage for a language to make "The Usual" view. As an example, why is 
SML/NJ in that group and not MLton?  If you take into account the fact 
that MLton scores as one of the highest implementations in the shootout, 
it makes a much better case for the performance possible using SML. I 
understand the distinction between the other categories, but, it seems 
to me that "The Usual" is too ill-defined. Maybe you could implement a 
category where only implementations implementing a certain percentage of 
the tests will be entered. At the very least it seems only fair to have 
"The Great" be made the default category.
