Well from Sedgewicks 'Algorithms in C' pg. 367 I find the following
table which may be useful...

  ---------cut------------
  Worst case costs of priority queue implementations

                            delete             find      change 
                   insert   maximum   delete   maximum   priority   join
  ordered array      N        1         N        1          N         N   
  ordered list       N        1         1        1          N         N
  unordered array    1        N         1        N          1         N 
  unordered list     1        N         1        N          1         1 
  heap              lg N     lg N      lg N      1         lg N       N
  binomial queue    lg N     lg N      lg N     lg N       lg N      lg N 
  best in theory     1       lg N      lg N      1          1         1
