Least bad or least worst?

[Abcd3]

Which of these do you think is correct? Thank you! :)

‘least bad’

or how about ‘best available option’ ?

Least bad. Or just 'best'.

Thanks!

Agree, least worst is a contradiction in terms and makes no sense whatsoever. Least bad sort of makes sense but it would be more correct to say something like "best of a bad bunch" or even "least terrible" or "least awful" sound better than "least bad".

Or even 'better'

Oh, I was brought up to say least worst.

It can't be least worst because worst is just that. There is nothing worse than it.
