I don't notice any real difference in drying times when a dryer has a drum moisture sensor and one in the exhaust plenum from one that only has one in the exhaust. Which has priority?

A sensor in the exhaust, usually the blower housing, is for temperature. I've not known of any dryers that have a moisture sensor in that location, being that moisture sensors (in the drum) by design require contact with the clothes.
If there are any dryers with a true moisture sensor in the exhaust airflow, perhaps someone in-the-know can bring them to attention with details on the device via part diagrams and part numbers?

Ok, then where is the auto dry sensor, as my Whirlpool has auto dry and no drum sensor?

Whirlpool uses a power dropping resistor to drop the voltage down to the timer, when the cycling thermostat opens or the high limit thermostat, it completes a circuit and sends power to the timer motor. A little more complicated to understand than a double throw switch thermostat which is a little more straightforward.
My favorite auto dry was the one used on Galaxy dryers. They took advantage of a 240 volt timer motor and made it work with two contacts like timed dry. I think more dryers should have gone this route:
