It is more okay to look at what is best For Them.

Budget, performance, suitability to the necessary tasks are all important.

My friend with a sub-$100 Diamonback from Walmart got, for him, the perfect bike. Everything else would be overkill.

I could put my 91-year-old father in a Porsche. It would in no way be "better" than putting him in the kind of car he likes, a full-sized sedan. In fact, the Porsche would not only be wasted but even dangerous. And, it would eat up his retirement savings.
