Assuming no other random bugs have somehow made it to this point, I tend to think Hybrid targeting is a better default than "closest enemy first". The screenshot I'm linking here shows that I have a Squad (using default targeting) way up in the top right corner of the map, whereas the nearest droid assembler (and outpost/base) is all the way in the bottom left. And my terminator droids have completely ignored a number of enemy bases in between, just because they think that the most important thing to do is attack whatever they're closest to.
yes, the blind rampage into the wilderness can be irksome. I'll do some more testing and probably make hybrid targeting the default method for the next version
...when Hybrid targeting was enabled.
