I heard this could be done with a setting called "admin distance". Is that correct? I figure it might be somewhat common to have a need to balance unequal BGP routes?

Admin distance will only impact egress routing, and will not impact ingress. The original proposed solution above is probably the way to go to ensure that traffic from the internet uses one path over the other (the bigger pipe), and you can use route maps to influence which path to take out. You would create a route map for each bgp neighbor, and the one with the larger pipe would have a higher local preference.
Here is what you pretty much want to do if I understand your requirements correctly, great link:
