Meaning of priority in different protocols

Merry Christmas! Just a quick question

In ospf --------------------->a higher numeric value for priority
means a higher importance
In multicast-BSR --------->a higher numeric value for priority means a
higher importance
In multicast-PIM --------->a higher numeric value for priority means a
higher importance

I guess the exception is spanning-tree:
In spanning-tree --------->a higher numeric value for priority means a
lower importance

Are there any other priority values to watch out for, and what category do they
fall in to?
