[c-nsp] Bridge Root Priority

I'm looking for best practices for setting Root Priority on my core
switch (6500 catos).  I only have one switch in the core, but this
question applies if I had two as well.

I typically run the "set spantree root" which lowers the root priority
to 8192.

My engineer is asking me why we wouldn't set it down to "1" so that it
couldn't be overthrown with a priority less than 8192.

What are best practices or opinions on this matter?
Thanks,
