Which filament for this print

I printed this helmet holder in ASA-CF, 0.4mm hardened nozzle, 20% gyroid infill.  I had a full spool of ASA-CF on hand was a major reason I picked this filament. Was this filament a good choice for this helmet bracket? If not, which filament would have been a better choice?

Seems like a good choice. I'd think almost anything other than PLA would be OK, unless cast iron helmets are becoming a thing. I do a lot of parts where any one of multiple filaments are good.

ASA-CF is a OK choice, especially if exposed to sunlight. Otherwise, a better choice either PET-CF or PC-CF. If it's going to be in a hot garage (potentially) then PC-CF.

What I meant to say is: ASA-CF is the best choice if exposed to sunlight. If inside then PET-CF is best and if exposed to heat (like inside a hot garage) then PC-CF.
