Agree on all counts except the sunflower oil. In general, avoid seed/vegetable oils, especially if they are used in high-heat cooking as in this example.

Vegetable/seed oils are not whole foods or naturally stable. They are modern frankenfoods made from leftover agri-waste via industrial chemical processes. Under high heat these oils become highly oxidated and not the kind of stuff you want your body to deal with.

Do you have a source on this? Because this is contrary to what I have learned

Sunflower oil generally has a higher smoke point than olive oil.

True. I cook with ghee (clarified butter) most of the time.
