AUCTeX provides a default based on the current state of the document
compilation. the default is latex if the .tex file is newer than the dvi
file (or pdf, if you're using pdflatex), but if the dvi file is up-to-date,
the default is xdvi (or whatever viewer you've defined, or AUCTeX finds
suitable).

however, the prompt sports TAB-completion, so all you really need to type
to get latex is just `l', then hit RETURN.
