I've never thought of opting for this, but lately I've taken advantage of this option as a buyer and kind of like it.
If I opt for that in eBay choices, does that mean that everything I sell with that capability will show "best offer," even if I don't want it for that item?

What "ebay choices"? I use it every once in awhile on item by item basis.

I list through Vendio. Here's what's on the eBay site-specifics page. It's not clear to me that I can do Best Offer on a case-by-case basis. Am I misreading it??
Best Offers
If you are selling Fixed Price listings in certain eBay categories you can opt for accepting alternative offers (Best Offers) from buyers. Check 'Enable Best Offers' below to enable this feature by default when creating listings. If Best Offers are enabled, you can opt also for automatic responding to Best Offers for the new listings (notice that the options below will only enable this feature by default in the new listings, but will NOT override the settings specified per listing). Offers will not be accepted automatically if the buyer has included a message to seller.
Enable Best Offers when possible in the listing category.
Automatic Responding to Best Offers
Accept if Best Offer is greater than or equal to the
Ignore acceptable offers if a better offer occurs within hour(s)
Consider as better offers the ones with:
Better price per item
Larger quantity sold
Greater total sale price (price per item * quantity sold)

you can do it item for item. my favorite is that you can set auto accept/auto deny amounts so that you don't have to reply to offers. ebay does it for you.

I never knew that you could do the following:
"Ignore acceptable offers if a better offer occurs within hour(s)"
Consider as better offers the ones with:
Better price per item
Larger quantity sold
Greater total sale price (price per item * quantity sold)
I don't think I understand this. Does that mean if you have 10 widgets and someone offers you $10 for 5 of them and then someone comes along and offers you $6 for 10 of them, that you would sell all 10 for $6. I don't think I would like that. Of course ebay may never even tell you about the unaccepted offer.

In Dutch auction,if you have 10 widgets,someone offers $5 each for 3 widgets and then someone else comes along and offer $4.50 each for all 10 widgets,then if you want to sell all 10,then the second offer is better.
