The Valar and the Maia are both Ainur, Alkquareie. The only real difference is Power. The Valar are split up into divisions too, it’s merely how great they are that it depends on. I would expect that the destination be made by the Elves that told the Sil. Actually I wouldn't really be that surprised if the idea of Power and Greatness and Ranking came from the Men when they interpreted the Sil. Rankings seems to be quite a Mannish rather than Elvish trait.
