Probably best single engine climb and best glide.

Maybe best approach speed, max gear extension, best speed for IMC, best
attack speed, max speed with any windows open?

for range, and something else...

My good buddy (now deceased) who flew 'Cats', told me 90, 90, 90.

The running gag at the tim was that the Cat had a take off speed of 100

kt,
cruise speed of 100kt and a stall speed of 100kt.
