The bigger end is always the better end, giving you more meat to work with. You, also, probably want
to avoid whichever areas seem to have more "fat", as more fat means less meat.

That depends on what you mean by "best."

I have never noticed much difference, but I never by the very ends. They have bits of connective
tissue and viscera that make for some tough chewing. Since they charge a lot more for filet that
other cuts of steak and they charge as much for those tough end pieces as they do for the middle, I
want the good stuff.

More fat also means more flavour. I think that filets are usually a pretty good cut of meat, but
they need a little extra care in cooking. They can be dry and flavourless if you don't use any extra
fat or oil to cook them, and if you overcook them. I have never seen huge wads of fat in a filet,
and I prefer them to have a little marbling, though certainly not as much as you would see in other
beef cuts.
