Setting selected values for ng-options bound select elements
If using AngularJS 1.2 you can use 'track by' to tell Angular how to compare objects.
<select ng-model="Choice.SelectedOption" ng-options="choice.Name for choice in Choice.Options track by choice.ID"></select>

You can use the ID
field as the equality identifier. You can't use the adhoc object for this case because AngularJS checks references equality when comparing objects.
<select ng-model="Choice.SelectedOption.ID" ng-options="choice.ID as choice.Name for choice in Choice.Options"></select>
Using ng-selected for selected value. I Have successfully implemented code in AngularJS v1.3.2
<select ng-model="objBillingAddress.StateId" > <option data-ng-repeat="c in States" value="{{c.StateId}}" ng-selected="objBillingAddress.BillingStateId==c.StateId">{{c.StateName}}</option> </select>
