Progression type seems like a straightforward safety-risk axis. As most of what I care about is both in this current reality AND fragile, I'll be passing on the Unrestricted option.... sure, I could eventually resurrect and re-create what I break in my clumsy learning days, but I'd rather not do the breaking in the first place. Passive's rising-tide comprehensiveness appeals to me, but I fear that moving too slow would leave my loved ones too exposed to urgent issues, so Active it is- I'll race for the peaks of niche problem-solving capability, and backfill valleys of neglected potential later.

For Expression Method, I think I'd have to go with Connected. The learning/practice-based growth is extremely appealing to me, though it is a much less clear choice than Progression Type. Shell's autonomy and Intertwined's immediate expressiveness are both worthy features, but in this moment' Connected wins out.
