choosing locator in selenium code example

Example: how do you decide which locator

- First I would check for id. If there is id,
  and it is not dynamic, I would go for id.
- If not, I would quickly check for it if 
  there is unique class or name attribute value
-If it is link, I would use linkText or
  partiallinktext
-If none available than I would go for xpath
