Cholesterol levels: Ideally, total cholesterol is good at less than 180. The higher the HDL the better. LDL, typically depending on risk factors, less than 160 is good.

Depends on Particles: Cardiovascular (CVD) risk is related to the number of LDL and HDL particles (LDL-P, HDL-P). LDL can be estimated by cholesterol (LDL-C) or measured by particle number (LDL-P). LDL-C and LDL-P do not equally predict cardiovascular risk. When LDL-C and LDL-P values disagree (due to cholesterol variability per particle) CVD risk tracks with LDL particle number, not LDL-C values.
