The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

An Industrial Perspective on Wireless Sensor Networks — A Survey of Requirements, Protocols, and Challenges (2014, methodology): “The routing metrics have two use cases; firstly they can be used to evaluate a proposed routing protocol by describing the performance in terms of the metrics, secondly the routing metrics are used by the routing protocols to construct efficient routes [105] dynamically.”
Security for the Internet of Things: A Survey of Existing Protocols and Open Research Issues (2015, methodology): “RPL also employs metrics that are appropriate to 6LoWPAN environments, such as those defined in RFC 6551 [41].”
Standardized Protocol Stack for the Internet of (Important) Things (2013, methodology): “Possible metrics and constraints (which can be fruitfully exploited for timely adapting the topology to changing network conditions) are [59]: node energy, hop count, link throughput, latency, link reliability, and link color.”
RPL in a nutshell: A survey (2012, background): “In [25], the ROLL working group specified a set of links and nodes link’s and node’s routing metrics and constraints that are suitable to LLNs and recommended for the RPL routing protocol.”
