there are also exceptions
for example, we prefer versions that show the original developer over licensed versions (which is why Puckman is the parent over Pacman)
also if a game has been ridiculously bastardized for a non-Japanese market we tend to prefer the version with the game most intact as the parent as it best represents the game in question.
ultimately it's up to whoever developed the driver tho.
