I am wondering when it's appropriate to appearance Customize option over the theme editor ?
TIA

I'm not sure if there's a definitive answer for that. If you're asking about adding CSS via the customizer vs doing it in a theme's
style.css, a guideline might be "if it's more than one rule, move it to the theme".Otherwise, it's more likely about who you want to have control - adding a color option for buttons to the customizer makes it so a non-developer can change the color of buttons across the site. Without that, a non-developer would need help making that change in the theme files.
But are there any level of prioritization given to where the CSS rule is placed, e.g
at the customized vs at the theme ?
Yes - Customizer CSS is loaded in the header, inline, and after the theme's
style.css. This means rules in the customizer with equal specificity will override rules from your theme's stylesheet.ok, so that means that Customizer CSS has a higher priority of the theme's stylesheet.
Thanks
