You usually don't get an option to change i don't think but opengl is generally better.

Ati card + windows == D3D
nVidia Card + windows == OpenGL or D3D

HL-engine Games or any pre-DX7 games that support OpenGL aswell == OpenGL always, as it will automatically take advantage of the HW TnL engines, DX6.1 games won't. ie. Half-Life, CS, NS etc.

Tbh, pick OpenGL if you can.
it's the original and best and it's opensource.
