Do you have documentary proof, in hand, of the actual postmark date of your cancellation sent by priority mail? It is the postmark date that matters, NOT the date of delivery to the recipient.
I don’t know why a USPS clerk would say that priority mail is a "better" option. It isn't. Priority mail may be faster, but delivery date is irrelevant anyhow. Can you prove postmark date? You would have to prove postmark date if there was ever a time compliance challenge by slimy Wastegate. This is exactly why certified mail is recommended -- a date stamped receipt for a specific piece of mail is provided at the USPS counter for certified mail. I am not at all sure that is the case for "priority" mail.
