Weak Reference - Seen in Project by dimensions, align tool, Revit favors Strong over Weak Strong Reference - Seen in project by dimensions, align tool and Revit sees these first.

Dont define materials in families, define material parameters instead (or possibly sub-categories) as much as possible so materials can be assigned in a project, where they really matter. Dont include parameters in families that dont change geometry, instead put them in project templates and apply them to the categories they affect.
