VBR5 is best choice?

same 5 songs converted from WAV to MP3 using:
VBR4 - 28.3 [files too large]
CBR128kbs - 25.5mb
Medium - 23.8
VBR5 - 23.2
VBR6 - 21.6 [worst quality]

Using VBR9 sound quality was worst as khz was 24 instead of 44; VBR7, khz32, quality improved.
Thus khz is more important than kbps. Correct?
VBR6 is acceptable, 44khz, kbps ranged from 80 to 192.
VBR5 sounded like CBR128 but smaller file size, 1/12 of WAV, is the best choice.

A)Why is 0 best, 9 worst? Logic 9 is highest, why backwards?
B)Why allow user to set min&max bit rates if using VBR? Why not use ABR?
C)Why is 128k Tape Quality on some MP3 apps, on others CD quality?
D)Why is setting to below 112kbs and keeping 44khz not allowed?
E)Is it better to make MP3s from ripped WAVs or from CDs?
 
I would rip anything to .FLAC and just get larger storage. You get better sizes than .WAV and its still lossless.

C. It's just a name set by whoever wrote the app, doesn't really matter.
E. Doesn't matter.
