Which is the preferred preference?

I think a "Preferred algorithms should only appear in a self-signed X" 
would be good, and simply regenerating the signature would allow an update
since the times could be compared.  From what I read of the spec, it
should be in the self-signature containing the UserID.

In general, there should be something saying which subpacket types are
allowed to appear in which signature types.  Lots of things are web of
trust management, and maybe the next specification should be proper WoT
handling in full detail.  Reserving the values for such purposes is
probably good.  Defining every subpacket type and implying that all are
allowed on timestamps isn't. 

In fact a Subpacket Type / Signature Type table with Not/may/Should/Must
for each intersection would help greatly.
