I have been on site for a while as @Symphony (using my alt account right now), so I have a bit of experience with the sword arts. When it comes down to it, I believe that proposal B sounds nice and more like a proper game mechanic. However, in boss battles and such, I can see both options as becoming a sort of problem. It already takes us months to get through one boss. I believe you should work on fleshing out boss development first or while working on sword art developments.
Overall, Proposal B sounds like a standard progressive system. As players, we could keep track of cooldowns in our stats area of our posts. Of course, the sword arts section of site would needed to be updated with specific cool down rates for each weapon and sword art, but that shouldn't be the biggest issue. Just please work on the floor bosses and alter their development in some sort of way if you decide to go with either of these proposals or change the sword art system all together.
