disambiuguation question

Just a question about the application order of the disambiguation
rules.

Suppose we have these 2 references:

  1. John Smith, Joe Doe, Arthur Brown, 2003, Some Title

  2. John Smith, Linda Doe, Martin Brandy, 2003, Some Other Title

which evaluate to:
Smith, et al., 2006

should they be disambiguated as:
Smith, Joe Doe, et al. 2006 and Smith, Linda Doe, et al. 2006
or
Smith, Doe, Brown et al. 2006 and Smith, Doe, Brandy et al. 2006
?

I like the first one more.

Andrea

I agree.
