I'd say bar chart when one figure is given for each day.

I'd choose for the first alternative.  We could make a table like:

email report_size barchart
<service> <reportname> <charttype>

<reportname> is what's mentioned in the <subreport ...> line in the
report, e.g. type=\"report_size\" .

Don't know if this is the right way to do these kinda things in xml
land.
