I've just started playing ME2 and was presented the choice of "who did I pick" to the lead the council at the conclusion of the fist episode.  As far as I recall, my character had stormed off at the end of ME1 basically saying, "sort it out for yourselves," making no decision on the matter one way or another.

Is there a recommended or perhaps "intended" option for who to chose given the way ME2's storyline will unfold?

Not much difference. Did you let the council die? If so, Anderson can get your Spectre status back, Udina won't. But it hardly matters. Nothing but a line or two of dialogue changes here and there. I can only think of one case where being a Spectre actually matters and there are ways of dealing with the situation that don't require you to be a Spectre.

The real reason this occurs is because the plot flag does not get saved correctly in ME1 (the import save is actually created before that scene). So they had them ask you in ME2, and whoever you say is the councilor.

Udina will be councillor in ME3, just FYI. I don't recall if those who chose Anderson get anything in the way of explanation as to why Anderson left and Udina took his place, so in terms of story continuity I suppose it makes more sense if you just pick Udina from the start.

Let TPTB shoehorn Udina into being councilor because I certainly won't elect him over Anderson by the end of ME1.

You can't be wrong. Whatever you say is right. capn233 was explaining why no matter what you say is right.

Udina is the default Councilor, same with ME3.

I always make him the Councilor anyway, so it doesn't matter to me.

Udina always seems like kind of a jerk, and not even that skilled as a politician - he's just as hesitant to believe Shepard about the Reapers as the three original councilors, and his bluster towards them in the meetings always comes off as obnoxious and ineffective to me. I never really saw much of a reason for any of my Shepards to pick him. For variety's sake, I did a couple playthroughs where I said "let the poltiicians figure it out" in ME1 and then chose the "I recommended Udina" dialogue in ME2, figuring that maybe Shepard only did so later and with reluctance.

You won't miss any missions or extra scenes by picking one over the other. The dialogue in ME2 will be different in a few scenes, and if the original Council is dead, it's implied that Udina is being more heavy-handed in asserting humanity's newfound clout whereas Anderson is reported to be taking a more cooperative approach. For ME3 it makes no difference.

It changes two lines of dialogue: when meeting with the council, if you picked Anderson, then Shepard prefaces her remarks by saying "And while I haven't always agreed with Undina," and second, when talking to Anderson if you tell him politics is a pain he will tell you "As I remember you gave me the position" if you made him the councilor.

Edit: It may also change a line or two in the investigate dialogue with Udina, but I usually skp that dialogue so I don't know.

I remembered the choices I made but I answered wrong on purpose to see what was gonna happen (I had chosen Anderson for the council but I said Udina) and they corrected me, telling me that actually Anderson became the councilor

I'll probably choose Anderson everytime, Udina screws Shepard far too much to get her support and Anderson is always on Shepard's side. Hell, he even supports her when she is with Cerberus. That said, it only makes sense what Anderson's role is in ME3, obviously one of the Alliance's most decorated soldiers should be there in it's time of need.

I find the notion that a soldier no matter how distinguished would determine the political representation for billions of people on the citadel to be immersionbreakingly silly.
So I try to roleplay that Shepard has no say in it, Udina is the kind of guy that a government or popular vote would chose for that kind of job in real life. It's also more consistent with the Council's attitude to the reapers in general.
