Why does DV choose a smaler file with a smaller bitrate over bigger file and a higher bitrate?

How could I make DC choose best quality (highest bitrate) and biggest file size?

Is there an option to automatically (not manually) keep the two (or more) best files / tracks?

It's there in the Selection Assistant-

You want to checkmark
"Smallest file sizes in each group"
and
"Bit rate" - "Lowest/blank".

This will put a cross against the smallest values, marking them for deletion. You can use the arrows to re-order the 'Preferring to mark' list by order of preference. (e.g. prioritizing bit rate over file size).
