So if a game has OpenGL and DirextX as options such as TF2), it's generally better to pick DirectX?

If you have an Nvidia GPU definitely pick DirectX. On AMD it's more of a tossup, depends on the game and the features in question but generally it won't need to translate OpenGL, so it has higher maximum performance potential.
