Searches for gravitational-wave transients from binary black holecoalescences typically rely on one of two approaches: matched filtering withtemplates and morphology-independent excess power searches. Multiplealgorithmic implementations in the analysis of data from the first generationof ground-based gravitational wave interferometers have used differentstrategies for the suppression of non-Gaussian noise transients, and targeteddifferent regions of the binary black hole parameter space. In this paper wecompare the sensitivity of three such algorithms: matched filtering with fullcoalescence templates, matched filtering with ringdown templates and amorphology-independent excess power search. The comparison is performed at afixed false alarm rate and relies on Monte-carlo simulations of binary blackhole coalescences for spinning, non-precessing systems with total mass 25-350solar mass, which covers the parameter space of stellar mass and intermediatemass black hole binaries. We find that in the mass range of 25 -100 solar massthe sensitive distance of the search, marginalized over source parameters, isbest with matched filtering to full waveform templates, to within 10 percent ata false alarm rate of 3 events per year. In the mass range of 100-350 solarmass, the same comparison favors the morphology-independent excess power searchto within 20 percent. The dependence on mass and spin is also explored.
