I think in this case, "performs best" is probably most work per dollar of fuel. The distillate engines probably had more power on gasoline but at the cost of using a much more expensive fuel. Kerosene back then was much lower grade (and cheaper) than the K-1 you commonly find today.
Most serial number suffixes were shared across multiple models but were not universal. I have to guess a little here too. The A came as standard equipment with a gasoline engine, the distillate equipment was an option. Thus the suffix-free serial number would indicate a gasoline engine. On the other hand, the H and M came as standard equipment with distillate equipment. The gasoline engine was a later option. Thus the suffix-free serial number would indicate a distillate engine and the X1 suffix was added for gasoline engines.
