The selection tool of choice often comes down to personal preference (and experience)
The tool for removing a background is the foreground select tool. https://docs.gimp.org/2.10/en/gimp-tool-...elect.html
but..I tend to use a layermask and paint out the background https://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Layer_Masks/ that is non-destructive .
Another useful way to select is paint-in the selection. Gimp has a tool quick-mask see: https://docs.gimp.org/2.10/en/gimp-image...utton.html Either paint in the whole selection or add / subtract from a selection made by another tool.
