    US miles, UK miles or nautic miles? Imperial units are always crap (feet/s ?)

    That's good and all. But we should go deeper.

    For instance, what's the conversion factor to planck lengths per unperturbed ground-state hyperfine transition of the caesium 133 atom (second) or maybe even per Planck time unit?

    m/s is the best, everyone know aprox. what is an meter and an second to know the velocity, but not so easy with km and a hour.. 50km/h seems slow, but not so 13 m/s.

    Why not just go with the universal and unitless proportion of "c"?

    Or, for your slowpokes, parts per million or billion of "c".
