I would vote for something very simple: 

<S-up> increases priority, <S-down> decreases priority.

<S-up>   : nil -> [#A] -> [#B] -> [#C] -> nil
           [#A] -> [#B] -> [#C] -> nil -> [#A]
           [#B] -> [#C] -> nil -> [#A] -> [#B]
           [...]

<S-down> : nil -> [#C] -> [#B] -> [#A] -> nil
           [#A] -> nil -> [#C] -> [#B] -> [#A]
           [#B] -> [#A] -> nil -> [#C] -> [#B]
           [...]

I know it wouldn't be aware of the default priority, but I would still
prefer this behavior over another one.

For making the priority setting aware of the default priority I would
better use this:

<S-up>   : increase priority (by with normal cycling)
<S-down> : switch default priority / nil

But I still prefer the very simple interface... as I tend to think
priority handling should be as smooth (and sober) as possible.
