I expected the answer to be similar to precedence in brachos, namely, that preference is given to what comes first in the pasuk "Eretz chitah us'orah..."

But I was wrong.

MB 453:2 explains: "Because it is chaviv to a person, and it constitutes hidur mitzvah. If he has no wheat for matzos, he should take one of the four [other] species, whichever is most chashuv to him, so that he will eat it with te'avon."

(I am very intrigued. It seems that the MB has given three different criteria - chaviv, chashuv, and te'avon - and I can easily see cases where they might yield different choices.)
