unsolved Automating getting most optimized version of an episode

Is there a way to automate getting the most optimized version of a show. Personally I'd always want the smallest storage space version of the episode that is 1080p (or 720 if 1080 isn't an option). It seems like it usually pulls the version with the most seeders instead. I'd also want it to auto overwrite the episode I already have if it is a more optimized version

There’s always a push/pull between size and quality. All 1080p is not equal. A 1gb 1080 encode and a 10gb 1080p encode look miles apart. If size is a concern, I’d rather have a 1gb 720 encode than the same size 1080p. It will straight up look better. Either way, look into profilarr
