Quick question, I want to use pic related to remove some scratches and swirlies on my cars paint with a power drill. I know I won't get pro results, just want to remove some and make it less noticeable. Would I use the jagged pad or the flat one for the scratch compound?

Swirls over a larger area won't come out very well with a drill, you'll likely make it worse. Small scratches would be okay with a drill.
You can get a cheap DA polisher off eBay that is unlikely to fuck your paint and will allow you to do a good job or the swirls.
I would use a flat pad, the softest you can get and grab something mid range like Meguiar's scratch X to start if you're intent on using a drill. If the scratches are really deep then move to Meguiar's ultimate, but only after you have tried scratch X.
Whatever you do don't get a rotary polisher if you don't know what you're doing.
I would highly recommend getting a DA or random orbital polisher instead of using a drill. You'll save time and have less chance of screwing your paint
