With the prefer you need to use "to" and with the choose you need to use "over".

Prefer, preferable or prefers always flowed by to.
Ex: Death is preferable than dishonor (incorrect).
Death is preferable to dishonor (correct).
Ex: Death is preferable than dishonor (incorrect).

Let us assume that A is the boss and B is his subordinate. Then obviously A is senior to B & B is junior to A. Like wise sentence is "his father is junior to my father" if we compare salary then the statements can be "his father's salary is less than my father's salary".
Here salary is a quantity it has a value so we use than and junior senior are the designations so we use "to" to indicate the relationship.

Over and to are both acceptable. But "to" is more suitable when it comes to grammar.

Ex: Ramu prefers coffee to tea.
