Not sure what you're getting at with the first question
As for target selection, it all comes down to the tactical situation. Of course I'm always interested in the 'big ones' but I wouldn't take extra risk to get into the middle of a convoy just to get a large maru.
Remember. Two mediums on the edge of a convoy are the same tonnage as the large one in the middle.
On the other hand, when it comes to task forces who can resist them battleships and carriers!
