Cheat Sheet for priorities

One thing that frustrates me about the networking world is priorities, as from my exposure it seems no one has agreed on whether higher or lower is better.

For instance, in STP, a lower priority is more preferred (this is also the same for interface priority), whereas in HSRP for instance, a higher priority is preferred. This is also the same for HA config on Palo Alto firewalls.

I have searched, albeit briefly, for a cheat sheet showing whether a higher or lower priority is preferred for different protocols, but have found nothing. Does anyone know of one?
