My point was already made in my first post and here again. Absolutely none of that info will have any bearing on what happens on the particular day of YOUR flight. 1,000 people can reply to this thread and you will have 500 different answers. You could run a poll on this site and ask how many were on time, 30 minutes late, 3 hours late, never arrived, etc. And that still has absolutely ZERO bearing on what happens with your flight. You're looking for historical data that has nothing to do with the future. This is exactly like the stock market: "past performance is not indicative of future results." This is no different than anybody who books flights to arrive for a cruise out of Florida and wants to know whether they should arrive the morning of, the night before, two days before, etc. You must choose what you're comfortable with and nobody on here can tell you what that is.
