when determining the orbitals atoms have, do we taking into account whats around the interested atom AND the lone pairs?

For 6:30, you compared O and S; couldn't you argue that O is more stable because its more EN? Or are these two methods of evaluating basicity relative to the atom rule? Size being the most important factor compared to EN? Size takes priority over E.N?
Or does it have to do with what you're given; if you're given something in the same row you know they're the same size so you have to evaluate with EN. If EN does not differentiate then move on to the Resonance rule correct?
