Default Rwy 24L vs Rwy 24R

Hi everyone, I have a general question about runways. In Montreal for
example (CYUL) or anywhere else. What would be a factor making planes
land on Rwy 24L vs landing on 24R. I understand that prevailing winds
play a role in determining if its 24L or 06L, but I cant figure how
they decide to use left or right.


Airport layout, runway length, approaches serving the runways versus the
current weather, etc., etc., etc.
