So what are better or worse options for spending of one's tax dollars?

You don't get any options for spending of your tax dollars, so there are no better or worse ones.

or pay them in a country that will use them more effectively

Depends on your citizenship and the specifics of the situation. The US, for example, taxes its citizens on their worldwide income.

Taxes paid to the country you live in count as a tax deduction, so in the common case that the host country has a higher tax rate than the US, a US citizen living abroad pays no tax to the US. And if you already have permanent residency somewhere else, changing your citizenship is not super difficult.
