Depending on the context, "Optimal" might be better for "A," since
that implies recognition of practical constraints that "Ideal"
doesn't.

"Warning" should be reserved for situations that could result in death
or serious bodily injury, and "Caution" for situations that might
result in property damage.

How about Optimal / Acceptable / Inferior / Unacceptable?
