The format is not as important as the form sizes. Warp4 is going to be
able to read all the formats. You want to add the Devices that work best
for your screen resolution and size. The easy way to preview and cycle
though the available options with Device -> List -> View.

www.wotsit.org probably will have the nice low level stuff you like. Give
the view option a try. You can see exactly what each device format looks
like.

It's PM, not the WPS that decides. I goes through the list and uses the
device option to select the best match. This will usually be the first
match unless you have set the device size and resolution. AFAIK, 0 values
match any system value.
