So far I have gotten two replies, and both indicate something different.

There is a discussion about this on NetMasterClass Forum. Maybe a search on Google indicates were is is archived (although I tried to find it with no luck).

From what I remember, the higher preference wins.

RFC1256 says the same:

============

A Router Advertisement includes a "preference level" for each
   advertised router address. When a host must choose a default router
   address (i.e., when, for a particular destination, the host has not
   been redirected or configured to use a specific router address), it
   is expected to choose from those router addresses that have the
   highest preference level
