Should it be {lo nu cpare}, or should we use {du'u} or {su'u}?

I thought that {nu} is specific to events, whereas {su'u} is more general. Or is crawling an event/achievement?

{nu} refers to events not in the sense of "Eurovision Song Contest" events, but generally to occurrences, things that happen. You can sometimes be more specific by using {zu'o}, {za'i}, {mu'e}, {pu'u}.

{su'u} is the most general abstractor; it can pretty much stand in for all members of NU.
