I fall into the actual value camp. I've had lots of times when I've wanted to plot an error bar without a central value, and it feels far more forced to try to come up with a central value to +/- from there than to calculate the actual values for the end points when you have an uncertainty.

But I heartily agree that you should just pick one and let the user do what they need in order to get it in the right format. It's not difficult either way.
