B. Is probably not really relevant, if you don't want your ISP to see your traffic then don't use FTP (also, if they're de-prioritizing FTP but not the alternatives then that seems like an own-goal). A is the more important concern, FTP is largely used for publicly available things now (driver updates, software packages, manuals) and you don't want malicious content added.
