In the end I think it all depends on what you mean by being cautious, because it is highly situational. If you have a character with 1 wound left, it is early in the game and you are asking them to run into a burning building it is hardly a question of caution. Because this could lose you manpower in the future and could end up giving the zombie player a zombie hero. But, if this was the burn it to the ground scenario towards the end of the game and would slow down the zombies for a turn while others prepare for the next step that may be your cautious option.

After playing the same scenario on the hero side 2 weeks ago, it was made clear to me early we couldn't defend every building on the map and we ended up giving up buildings left and right (we were down 5 by the 10th turn). Is that cautious or reckless? because by defending only a couple buildings we were given more time to search while the zombies took the buildings and we had less area to defend. (this allowed us to create our savior, sam the juggernaut, he had a med kit, garden shears and awesome rolls to match)

Sure, running from every fight especially if they will lose because if it, that is being a bit too cautious. But, if they are retreating to fight another day, they are just doing what is necessary.
