The sentences read as if they are part of an informal conversation. "I prefer the latter" is not so much incorrect as redundant. The use of the word "rather" commits the speaker to a preference for the the descriptor "second best". "I prefer the latter", uses the word 'latter' to refer, as it should, to the second of the two descriptors. That is how 'latter' is used.
