The tool could offer both methods so users can choose.
Actually, Blender has two different methods: Lift/Gamma/Gain and 
Offset/Power/Slope (the second is the ASC-CDL standard exchange format 
for color grading).
If the 3-way UI and the current numeric inputs have a correspondence, 
users could change between modes without loosing the grading.

Boosting the color balance tool to add this new stuff sounds like a 
really cool GSoC project, especially now that making GIMP suitable for 
VFX work became one of the targets.
