No, you really _don't_ need to find such a default.
Better a system that doesn't boot than one that boots based on a guess.
I've been spending a lot of time thinking about booting while writing
underdog (http://underdog.sourceforge.net) and while booting is fragile,
an even partially incorrect boot is a system and _security_ nightmare.
If you start making preferential guesses then an intruder could trick
the system into booting from a thumb-drive or other alternate media by
coercing a UUID colision in a way that the system picks the new media.
Conflicts should _never_ be guessed at during boot. Ever.
