Of course, it is more or less what makes sense to you.
One criteria that I use: is Agent B approx. Agent A with
different parameter values? Or does Agent B have a extra
attribute or functionality that makes it "unique" from
Agent A?
If agents A-D can be represented by a single Agent X with
a "status" attribute the only thing separating them then
for coding effiency reasons I would think having "one type"
would be preferable.
My $0.02.
