Thank you for the replies.

Isn't it possible to define the quality only in
terms of the norm and the integer radical,
something like this:

q(a,b,c) = max( norm(a),norm(b),norm(c) ) /
           (log(Delta(K)) + degree(K) * log(radical(norm(a*b*c))) ) 

with the restriction the norms of a,b,c to be coprime ?

Probably this needs some patching.

Is the ABC for this type of quality known and
does it make sense at all ?
