You can add a 'priority' statement to each network block in 
wpa_supplicant.conf.

 2) i can't associate with a non-discoverable ssid
 
 but probably it is my wireless driver's problem,
 i'm using bwn0 and currently I need to force it to use mode 11b or it is
 unusable.

Tried different options for the scan_ssid parameter?
 
 or should I complain to upstream ?

Before doing so, can you capture the output of 'wlandebug 0x' while 
trying to get a connection?

This appears to be the same as the bug reported in PR bin/98220.

wpa_supplicant is contributed code, so I think the correct answer is to
report this upstream.  As far as I could tell when I last checked, this
hasn't yet been fixed upstream.
