At some point, ethics comes down to "whose suffering/well-being do you prioritise when you're presented with a bunch of shitty options", and that's where everyone eventually disagrees.

I don't think this is actually true in the vast majority of day-to-day ethical decisions, although there are cases where it's certainly true.
I'm fairly confident that many more unethical actions, even subjectively defined (i.e. from each individual observer's pov), are the result of ignorance and apathy than actual differences of opinion regarding ethics.
