It really depends. It's pretty idiosyncratic--the same as I sort my games. I've since sold that US cart copy of Pilotwings 64, and picked up a NIB JP copy. Diddy's was just a lot cheaper than I would have been able to get a US copy for, and it was part of a bundle. You're right, though: In general I would prefer to have the US copies of the Rare Ltd games.
In general, my goals are usually JP copies of Japanese developed games, and US copies of Western developed games. Price often dictates what I end up getting, though, especially in cases where roms are exactly the same between regions, or spoken dialogue is in English regardless/the game isn't very story centric. Also price is more a factor with Nintendo console games, as they're not really a priority for me; so if it's cheap, that's mostly all I care about.
