Easy content (essentially first 3 difficulty levels, some levels in fourth one as well) - I usually focus on paths with best items on it (focusing on revives > health potions > iso/energy refills).
Hard content (Uncollected/Epic monthly quests, Act 5 etc.) - I usually play easiest paths only or easiest first.
Medium content (like Master monthly quests) - I mix both these strategies depending on difficulty/items.
I intentionally go to harder content when I have items to expire. I avoid harder content when I am dry.
Rarely when I don't have time to spectate while on autplay I just pick randomly.
If the items/difficulty is the same I sometimes look at paths length and take shorter/longer depending on energy.
Also, sometimes when the map layout is really confusing I find myself going for most confusing path first to make it clearer which paths will remain.
And finally - sometimes it just depends on the mood - which champ / boost do I want to handle next?
I generally go for the path that's 'straight up the middle' first (if there is one, or closest to) and then either work right side then left or left then right. That's events. On the catalyst quests, I tend to go for the harder route first, unless I only need one route done for the catalyst then I go easier.
Whichever path has the best items on it. (Revives > Health Pots) I don't pay any attention to ISO.
Same actually, if there isn't any then I take care of the hardest paths first so every other one gets progressively easier. Also so my Top Champions are freed up for AQs and sometimes AWs.

i forgot that was an option, would have been an option if i remembered.
