Hi vikramatantry,

                         It depends upon what you want to show to the user, Line chart is better for trend/trend Comparison like MoM, YoY. Bar chart is better used to compare two or more properties on same dimension, pie for comparison of contribution etc

So what you need to figure out is what is that you want the user to discover ?? ,and then decide upon the chart.

Cheers!
