I find that the stop-specific timetables are most useful, even where
they do state 'about every x minutes'. They're very clear, and I'd
suggest it's a more honest way of presenting the information rather
than having specific times given, when there can be no guarantee that
the bus will indeed turn up at that time.

However the bus journey results of the 'interactive' Journey Planner
service is not something that I've analysed that carefully so I'll bow
to your wisdom on that!

Journey Planner times are rather optimistic IME. It is wise to add 20-30
minutes to any suggestion (especially if you have a mainline train to
catch!)

'About every x minutes' timetables have left me cold and miserable more
frequently than 'proper' timetables. I had a particularly bad time with
the N16 one winter weekend; waited ages for a bus, got dumped at
Cricklewood Bus Garage, then waited for about an hour...

Horrible!
