Suit oneself
[Informal] It means, basically, "OK, do whatever you want; I don't care". It implies that the speaker made some attempt (perhaps small) to get the listener to do something; it's not generally something you say out of the blue. It's a pretty common idiom in US English.

♂ : I don't think I'll come to the party tonight.
♀ : All right, suit yourself.

 

♣ Movie The polar express (2004)

Conductor : If I were you, I would think about climbing on board.
(The boy hesitated and stepped back)
Conductor : Suit yourself.

We use would rather or ’d rather to talk about preferring one thing to another.
The phrases would sooner and would just as soon mean approximately the same as would rather.
Would sooner is more common than would just as soon.
Would rather is more common than both of these phrases.
