Hi ! :)

For my personal use, I prefer Id and Name, then CSS class. I prefer to never use XPath because if you don't aim accuratly your element, you can target another one if your UI is evolving.

I prefer xpath, because using xpath you can find any element. it has many functionality like (sibling, parent, ancestor, and number of options are there not in anything else)
