The good-option dilemma is that typical scenario where—for example—some evil authority figure holding you hostage gives you two options: one where you suffer the most and the other where you don't suffer as long as you give them what they want. Obviously you pick the second option out of desperation, but the dilemma here is that no matter what option you choose, in the end the evil figure will still make you suffer (typically by being killed or watching your loved ones die).
I had a good-option dilemma today where my computer's SSD got corrupted and I either had two options: wipe everything and do a clean reinstall of Windows, or pay a few hundred bucks to have some specialist recover the contents. So I paid for the recovery but the people shipped back the wrong drive with somebody else's files! So in the end, I had to wipe my drive no matter which option I went for. This is the good-option dilemma in a nutshell.

The one good thing in my life
Has gone away, I don't know why
She's gone away, I don't know where
Somewhere I can't follow her
The one good thing didn't stay too long
My back was turned and she was gone
Good thing
Where have you gone
My good thing
You've been gone too long (good thing)
People say I should forget
New friend tomorrow
Don't get upset
People say she's doing fine
Mutual friends I see sometime
Has gone away, I don't know why
She's gone away, I don't know where
Somewhere I can't follow her
The one good thing didn't stay too long
My back was turned and she was gone
Good thing
Where have you gone
My good thing
You've been gone too long (good thing)
People say I should forget
New friend tomorrow
Don't get upset
People say she's doing fine
Mutual friends I see sometime
That's not what I want to hear
I wanna hear she wants me near
Good thing
Where have you gone
My good thing
You've been gone too long (good thing)
Good thing
Then one day she came back
I was so happy that I didn't act
Morning came into my room
Caught me dreaming like a fool
Good thing, my good thing
My my my my good thing
Where have you gone (good thing)
My good thing
My good thing (good thing)
Girl
Where have you gone
It's been so long
Good God girl
Good God girl
Good God girl
Good thing
Good God
Good God
I wanna hear she wants me near
Good thing
Where have you gone
My good thing
You've been gone too long (good thing)
Good thing
Then one day she came back
I was so happy that I didn't act
Morning came into my room
Caught me dreaming like a fool
Good thing, my good thing
My my my my good thing
Where have you gone (good thing)
My good thing
My good thing (good thing)
Girl
Where have you gone
It's been so long
Good God girl
Good God girl
Good God girl
Good thing
Good God

Something I came up with in college circa 2006 to describe my (at the time) single friend Ryan. I used to call him a good fish, meaning that he was a catch.
