plot data in logarithmic scale

I have my experimental data of x-ray diffraction, they are ranged between 10e-7 to 10e-9 after normalizing. What is the best way to plot them ? in log scale or log10 scale ? I would be very thankful if any one help me.

log scale and log10 scale differ only by a constant multiple, which would be equivalent to different zoom factors on the same plot. It would thus probably make sense to ignore the issue and use whichever is simpler to code (e.g., semilogy()) .

Thanks a lot Walter,
so Is it wise to do it with log10 since in my case the data between two maximum peaks are much more sensitive to be compared with my models, (since the shape of my models between two maximum peaks differs when I plot them with log10 rather than doing it with log ! they gets deeper and closer to my experimental data)!
