Did Liebniz believe god picked the best materially possible world which has no true evil in it, or did he believe there is some true evil in this world but it is still the best materially possible world? I thought it was the latter, but my prof told me that it was the former.

Yes, many could hold the position any and all existence is inherently evil. Though I would strongly maintain against this form of philosophical oversimplification.
