I don't know exactly what a greenlet is, but it really depends on what you
allow them to do - as long as they abide by the limitations that prepare
watchers put on them, it's fine to run them there. If they can't (because
they need to fork or enter the mainloop or do anything else not allowed in a
prepare watcher), then you can't run them in prepare watchers.

In the latter case, an idle watcher would be the second best thing - they
don't have special limitations. Which priority to use for them I can't say
- it depends on whether you want them to preempt other idle watchers or
not.

Another alternative would be a check watcher, which also has no special
limitations (but you probably need an idle watcher to keep the mainloop
from blocking).
