4) What criterion will we use to prefer one explanation over another?

The explanation that best answers the questions you have is the one you'll find most satisfying.

5) When we have chosen an explanation should we stick with it?

As long as it continues to answer your questions the best. If another explanation comes along that provides more satisfying answers, I see no benefit in clinging to the old, inadequate explanation.
