Enigmail is a quite mature product. I am sure that you can do what you need.
But up until now I didn't understand your problem. Please try again.

Usually, Enigmail works this way:
For SIGNING (and that is what Faramir wrote about), you choose YOUR key you
want to sign with. Enigmail can choose automatically depending on your FROM
address (which may differ according to the TB/SM identities you set but also
may be modified e.g. by the "Virtual Identity" AddOn). In case you have more
than one key with a UID matching your FROM address, Enigmail can't know which
to choose. In this case, you should select it manually (in Account settings
- --> OpenPGP). But this is not your problem as it seems ("can't choose one key
for all people").
For ENCRPYTION, Enigmail per default matches the TO/CC/BCC addresses to the
UIDs of your keyring. If all addresses can be found, it encrypts to those
keys. If not, it prompts you what to do.
But this is very basic stuff and explained quite well in the documentation
section of our webpage. Have you had a look on the Quick Start Guide or the
Documentation -> First Steps section?
