You know, I'm just going to go with the obvious choices here - A, D, and E. Indexing frequently queried fields, using fixed-length fields, and following the rightmost prefix principle are all well-established best practices.

I think A, D, and E are the best options here. Indexing frequently queried fields is a no-brainer, and fixed-length fields are easier to index efficiently. The rightmost prefix principle is also important for composite indexes.
