For ethical practices, the following two options are acceptable for Carl to post:
1. **A positive review of a tool he used in creating his invention** - This is ethical as long as he is honest and transparent about his experience with the tool.
2. **A negative review of a rival product he has not used** - This is not ethical, as posting a review of a product he has not personally used misrepresents his experience and could be misleading to consumers.
Therefore, only the first option is ethical for Carl to post regarding reviews.
