Overwrite, without a doubt. Although, I hope Northern Trail Outfitters isn't using this data extension to send emails to inactive customers. That would be a real facepalm moment.

Overwrite is the way to go. Why keep a bunch of inactive customers in the data extension? That's just a waste of space.

Add and Update could potentially mix active and inactive customers, so Overwrite is definitely the safest choice.

Appending would just add more inactive customers, which is not what we want.

I'm leaning towards Overwrite as well. Appending or adding updates could leave old, inactive customers in the data extension.

Overwrite seems like the best option to ensure the data extension only contains currently active customers. It'll replace the entire dataset instead of appending or adding updates.
