I am not the one who gets to pick, though. Freya selects,

I thought Freya received before Odin got his pick?

The wording varies, but the order is standard. Freya gets
first dibs.

And she takes them to Sessrumnir?

Yes, or one of her other halls. There are many halls in Asgard
other than Vallhalla. Newbies often focus on Vallhalla to the
exclusion of these other honorable destinations.

I've always taken that as symbolic: As many are killed over
matters of the heart as are killed in battles about power.

I suspect it is because at one time the Goddess figure was the
primary God and it is an echo of that time.

The nice thing about Lore with enough quality to survive a
thousand years of retelling

Yeah, if you have an IQ that allows you to believe comic books.
