prio on htb mainly affects the way it shares excess bandwidth - the 
lower the number the higher the priority.

On filters it lets you choose the order your rules get tested against 
the packets.

I haven't look at the script - but the prio on the filter is unlikely to 
make any noticable difference if changed/ommitted.
