That.

And if possible (which I think it is) also all specifics, as for example, numbers, percentages, et cetera.

Edit: Added a poll as well.

Do you mean the Garage UI, or the in-game HUD_

Definitely yes to the Garage (moar stats!), I could also see in-game having a choice between the current progress-bar system and a numeric countdown like on items.

In-game the duration is already displayed by the countdown that appears when you start the ability. Granted, if you aren't looking at it when you push the button you won't know the exact number, but it's enough for an idea.

But an actual value in the garage could be helpful too.

As for cooldown, don't know. Maybe a toggle as was suggested, or if a counter was added to that progress bar maybe that would work too. It has to be done carefully though to avoid information overload, but for something this small that probably wouldn't be too much of an issue...

Again, an actual value in the garage itself would be useful.

Voted don't care because it seems fine as it is now, but I wouldn't be against more stats in the garage, so either way is fine.

Additionally, I think a beep wavesound for when you try to use your ability during a cooldown would be much appreciated as well. Or perhaps there's one played in the game for that specific case already_

I'm very much for the idea of having all that sort of statistical information available in the garage.

yup, I definitely think that this would be an interesting improvement. Extended info on special Abilities and internals would be great. :)

P.S. And please devs, get ride of the dark grey text on black background. That makes it really hard for the end-user from an accessibility standpoint; I'm afraid.
