Other options are fine.
The best values will depend on traffic and firewall hardware.

Memory usage should be high - if it isn't then it is being wasted. Any modern OS will maximise memory use, even if it is just for buffers and caches.

^ This.
Free RAM is wasted RAM. If it isn't in active use it can be used for caching and such. As the system is up it will tune the requirements in a bit. You can see more detail about the breakdown by watching the 'top' output or viewing Diagnostics > System Activity.
