Definitely 1, because 1.0-SNAPSHOT is *always* the lowest version in this scenario: 1.0-SNAPSHOT < 1.0-rc1 < 1.0-rc2 < 1.0 < 1.0.1 i.e. the dependency resolution of Maven will never pick the SNAPSHOT if you have the artifact in your transitive deps one time with the SNAPSHOT and one time with a released version.
