I think first rule match is best approach, as someone else pointed out, its how many things that most people here would work with daily work, be it a server daemon configuration, iptables, or Cisco routers. The only exceptions that I can think of immediately is Apache, ircu, and DNews where last (entered in order) matching rule wins.
Don't forget postfix - its 'last rule wins' too, and is why I vote for last rule wins for dovecot, or, worst case, if there is more than one give an error, or at least a warning.
