That seems to have another option I
like to, get .mp4 if available.  I think.  It did anyway.  :/  Time will
tell.

YouTube uses lower quality for mp4 (H.264). Downloading webm (VP9) is recommended. But not all videos are available in that format. Which is why the format options I posted contain both, with the meaning of "try webm first, but if not available, then try mp4."

Note: this is not about file size. The VP9 webm version has higher quality than the *same size* H.264 mp4.
