Again, considering secondary effects, power and accuracy.
EDIT:Please note for both Physical and Special.

Moves that has infinite accuracy (Such as Aerial Ace) are optimistic!
Never, due to evasion moves being banned in most tiers.
What're you saying, man? I said about moves that will always hit!
In-game, even Iron Tail and Dragon Rush work. Competitively they are bad, and you didn't told in-game @Alphacelestius
What do you mean Alpha? Infinite accuracy moves are only viable if opponent always uses evasion increasing moves or accuracy lowering moves, which are banned in most tiers.

Sorry for the really long answer. This is just what I think; there isn’t necessarily a right answer. I hope this helps! I got all the information from here: http://pokemondb.net/move/all

Brick Break has 15PP...
Really? Because on the move page it says 30 PP.
I thought overheat and blaze kick were the.....
Optimistic, counting accuracy factor and durability, which both of the moves you named don't have.

Yes, thanks for doing the status moves for me. I was too lazy to do them myself... However, I would think that Will-O-Wisp is used over Sunny Day, because the only time someone will use Solarbeam is on a Sun Team, on which sun has already been set up by a Vulpix or Ninetales or some other Drought Pokemon.
think about when typhlosion uses sunny day solar beam for coverage then a flamethrower boost alot of pokemon can use this and it covers all weaknesses.that said i am more a fan of sweepers than wall and tanks so that might be why i picked it over will-o-wisp :D
Ah, now I understand.
no rock type -3-
