Which "statistic" is proper for "StatusCheckFailed" metric while setting CloudWatch alarms?

I'm setting many alarms for our team's EC2 instance.

While setting an alarm for StatusCheckFailed metric, which is returning 1 or 0, whether 1 corresponds system's or instance's failing status and 0 when everything is good.

My question is about which "statistic" is proper for binary values like this.

You can use either Maximum or Sum. Set the alarm to activate when the stats is greater than 0.
