In this case, the usage would be more appropriate. For abilities like, one would rather ask "How far can it reach out?" or "At what distance can I be and still hit an enemy?". For this, I find using the radius much better. Even if both abilities are categorized as AoE, it would be better to use diameter for ground targeted spells and radius for abilities that have a defined focal point. Since it seems like it hasn't been made clear enough, this post embodies the entire counter-argument to using pure radius.
