That's what I wanted to do but I "optimized" the function too much and 
it does not work anymore...

Thus, second try (not sure if I use the array correctly, but it seems to 
work on my test boxes, bonus point attempt to use BASIC style line 
numbers as index numbers to leave room for further possibilities ;-)):

get_stable_devname() {
     _DEV="$1"

     declare -a _RES

     # prefer SCSI over ATA over WWN over path 

     for i in $(udevadm info -r --query=symlink "$_DEV")
     do
         if [[ "$i" =~ /by-id/scsi ]]
         then
             _RES[10]="$i"
         elif [[ "$i" =~ /by-id/ata ]]
         then
             _RES[20]="$i"
         elif [[ "$i" =~ /by-id/wwn ]]
         then
             _RES[30]="$i"
         elif [[ "$i" =~ /by-path/ ]]
         then
             _RES[99]="$i"
         fi
     done

     echo "${_RES[@]::1}"
}

get_stable_devname /dev/sda
