Comment (by wonderboymusic):

 IMO, canonical URL should always win over query string, and both always
 win over tax_query.

 I addressed the problem with tax_query winning here:
 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/20767

 Right now, tax is beating tag and category, which to me makes no sense
 because tax_query is a sub-request. Query string terms get tax=term
 treatment in WP_Query but are really only altering context of the request,
 not completely changing it.

 Precedence really only affects theme functions since is_year, is_category
 will both be true and the year and category are publicly available in the
 request. Whoever "wins" gets precedence in which template is picked or
 which title is displayed, etc.
