My take is that "suitable" and "superior" are weasle words that have no 
meaning beyond what the user wants them to mean.

My guess is that "suitable" means the plane can get off the ground with 
it, even if it has to have aerial refuelling at the end of the runway 
and all the plastic seals in the fuel line are eaten away before it can 
finish flying the pattern.  "Superior" would mean that they make a 
little more margin on it than 100LL.  Of course, I could be wrong.
