In this case use Most... The Most Suitable Option... you would use More if the sentence was like that: "I want you to give me more job options." Than the answer could be: "Ok, please choose the most suitable option among the 5 made available for you."

It seems a little strange in English to say the "look" serves the purpose (to me anyway). I think we would more likely focus on the stand itself. If we want to focus on the 'look' I think we would say
The design (or the layout, or the
