I don't understand what this means. "Best router for ::/0" is the same as best default router in my mind. As far as I can tell the distinction you are trying to make only makes sense when the question asked is "which is the best router for prefix P". But the node cares about "which is the best router for destination D" - nodes don't send packets to prefixes - they send packets to addresses. So I'm utterly confused.
