BenchmarkProfiles is a great plotting tool for running time/memory usage comparison.  
I wonder if there is any equivalent to it when the metric I want to look at has the property larger is better.

For example, I’m comparing the empirical performance of a few approximation algorithms for a maximization problem. I’m taking the inverse, 1/x, and then calling BenchmarkProfiles. But this problem is that the ratio now becomes the ratio between inverses, a bit less straightforward.
