Seems undocumented. My best guess is that 'best' would use the highest level potion, and 'minstack' would use the stack with the fewest quantity first. So, if you had a stack of 20 level 5 potions, and a stack of 50 level 10 potions, it would use the level 5 potions first.

Thats right.

"best" will use the postions with the highest level or if at the same level with the highest potential (if defined in the consumable database). And "minstack" as you said the smallest stack.

The reason for 'minstack' was to save slots (and money) by first using the new potions one is getting from loot.
