PayPal wins for me almost every time and your test matches my spreadsheet. My PayPal cashouts this year landed in 4, 9, and 6 hours, while instant bank ones came in at 18, 26, and once a full 40 hours over a weekend.
The reason is the bank side, not the casino side. The site can approve instantly but the ACH or bank transfer still rides the banking rails, which slow down overnight and on weekends, while PayPal moves the moment it is approved.
One caveat, a few sites charge a small fee on PayPal or cap it lower than bank transfer. Worth checking the limits page before you assume PayPal is strictly better.
