For a search including single-detector events, the decisive SNR for whether a signal is detected is actually the maximum SNR

@GarethCabournDavies I'm not sure I follow. This makes sense if you just look at singles, but coincs won't have the same detection threshold in terms of max SNR which blurs out the detection boundary.

If we want comparable numbers, wouldn't network optimal SNR make more sense as a default?

It does - I had thought that max_optimal_snr would be better, but trying to think of arguments why that was true convinced me that combined is better
