Default The epistemic "would"
http://www.usingenglish.com/forum/112855-post8.html

According to riverkid, the epistemic "should" is a bit weaker than "would."

(1) He should win the first prize.
(2) He would win the first prize.

Which expresses with more strongly that "he" will win the first prize?
