Co2 inflators /cylinders...which one??

Yup I read the link but wouldn't call a scientific experiment. I my experience my road bike tyres loose around 20psi in a week (100 down to 80) with CO2 and levels out thereafter. Air does pretty much the same over the same time period. CO2 may get to this 80psi quicker but it's certainly never what I'd call 'flat' in 2-3 or even your now revised time of 3-6days.

I have a original co2 inflator and it works a treat ,but only use original bulbs ,the cheap ones are useless IMO ,I always empty my tyres when poss of co2 and re inflate with my track pump

CO2 is what they use to inflate your bowel when they do an endoscopy because it is absorbed through the bowel and causes less discomfort than air.

....don't stick one of these inflators up your bottom though; you'll explode like the bloke in the Bond film.
