-of the ainur who staryed behind, they likely were not as curious about Ea as to leave their native home. The Ainur who did leave likely did not do so because they were powerful (Tulkas was said to be a small spirit who had resided in a corned of the heavens, and he proved mighty), but because their curiousity of this new world they had been shown overcame the home that their home in the Void near Eru held over them.
-I think the Silm specified the most powerful of the Valar; Manwe, Varda, Ulmo, Aule, Yarvanna, Mandos. The others were not as prominent, but nonethe less important. notice that each Istari was 'nominated' to go by one of these Valar (except Gandalf, who was chosen by Manwe & Varda; see UT)
