In regards to the smaller ones ripping you apart before you even cross the horizon, it has to do with the actual distance away from the singularity itself.
Supermassive black holes will give you a pretty lengthy amount of time to make peace with yourself once you cross the horizon. Stellar mass black holes, not so much.
Regardless of the mass, you will undergo spaghettification at roughly the same place, based on the proximity to the singularity.
