I agree with that Starman; left the choice, I'll take Wide Guard over Quick Guard any day. Often opponents focus a turn on a spread attack--Surf + Protect, or Water Spout + Helping Hand--so blocking both foe's concentrated effort with only one pokemon is actually very useful. Usually priority moves are not the focus of a turn, merely an assistance to setup (as in the case of Fake Out) or to finish off a weak opponent (Mach Punch, etc.). In either case I don't think you benefit much by it, since the foe can use the same attack next turn if it isn't Fake Out; it's like scouting with Protect, except without the same level of safety that Protect gives. Alternately, if it IS Fake Out that was used, well, that situation is outlined above.

This guy deserves a medal for originality. With 360+ wins, I knew there was something more to his team when the fight started.
