I agree that Free Space figures are probably the least ambiguous; but
I'm not convinced that "averages" are very helpful!
What do we mean by "average"? What's the average of two F/B ratios, one
of 10dB and one of 20dB?
[The average of 10dBW and 20dBW is 17.4dBW]
A "not worse than" figure across the bandwidth may be more meaningful.

If every antenna were compared to every other antenna in terms of free space
gain and all in the same unit of measure (say dBI) and if the numbers for gain
F/B, F/R, etc were shown as average across the band then there are no
additional questions to ask to determine which antenna is better or best.
