preferable:

1. pŏtior (neut. form, potius in this sense best avoided); with sup. pŏtissĭmus (when more than two things are compared): cf. TO PREFER (III., fin.). (For the use of comp. and superl. cf. Cic. Inv. 1, 12, fin., utrum potius aut quid potissimum sit.)

2. antīquior, us (taking precedence): Cic.: v. TO PREFER (III., fin.).

3. praeoptandus; potius (potissimum) diligendus: v. PREFERENCE (in). Also the compar. of praestans, praestabilis, etc., may serve, when both the things compared are good. To deem p., antepono, antefero, etc.: v. TO PREFER.
