I have a wii with bootMii boot1 as IOS, and I need to know how to safely install Priiloader. Should i use d2x, ios58 installer, or am I safe now? I already have a NAND backup. Thank you!!
p.s. to clarify, my wii is still in full working order. It is not bricked. I just need priiloader so I dont have to worry about future bricks.

Those things you mentioned have nothing to do with Priiloader - simply go on its official github (https://github.com/DacoTaco/priiloader/releases), download the 2nd to last version and extract it to SD like any other homebrew, download the 0.9.3 beta and extract its files in the same folder (overwriting the boot.dol), then simply run the installer and follow on-screen instructions

Spoilers: bootmii-ios is fundamentally useless for solving bricks, and priiloader is very useful against theme bricks and bannerbricks but is certainly fallible against other user errors

Any Wii homebrew conventionally has:
/apps/any-arbitrary-name/boot.dol or .elf
/apps/any-arbitrary-name/icon.png (optional)
/apps/any-arbitrary-name/meta.xml (optional unless the homebrew uses ahbprot, which the priiloader installer does)

Or you could use modmii to help you install priiloader (albeit not the latest version of priiloader but still very stable and reliable, as is the latest updates at present). Modmii will also have you install other things as extra brick protection in addition to priiloader (E. G. Protection against potential 003 bricks in vulnerable wii's from official updates)
