Only three that I can think of:
1-The unfavored set of beliefs flies in the face of experienced reality.
2- The unfavored set of beliefs encompasses exclusivity and hatefulness.
3-All other things being equal I would choose the set of beliefs I found most aesthetic and appealing to my sense of beauty.

What you believe may change so beliefs are only a placeholder for the personal self-realization of the true eternal God. There is only one truth but there are many paths. Initially you should pick the path with which you identify. Once you have invited God into your mind, spirit and soul God will light the path that is uniquely your own. The role of the Holy Spirit as our teacher is described in John 14 "And I will ask the Father, and he will send to you another Advocate to be with you always, the Spirit of truth, which the world cannot accept, because it neither sees it not knows it. But you will know it, because it remains with you, and will be in you." The discussions that you will have with the Holy Spirit will clarify all things to you and light the path to wisdom.

well, those are the reasons that the individual must come upon through their own personal prefference. Human beings are able to choose different sets of beliefs because of the fact that we have different understandings of what is right or wrong, but outside of the mind, right and wrong in no way exist as a morality.

I am assuming that you are speaking of religious beliefs. I believe each person has to follow the set of beliefs to which their spirit is called. They will know when they are comfortable and when they have found the path that is right for them.

No reason.
Merely consistency.
So that the followers of one particular set of beliefs don't get confused and break their own rules.
