Bratzki Poretz, let me respond. There were reasons for the reaction of the Litvish Gedolim. Lubavitch is not 99% like the others. It was founded with very different fundamental hashkovos than what was the mesorah before that time – views dangerously approaching Christian views.
As far as the pidion shvuiim goes. I am not familiar with the details, but you have to know there are Halochic rules about it: Kohen goes before Yisroel, Talmud Chocham before Am Ha’Oretz even if the latter is more me’yuchas.
