Casper does have a fork choice rule. Basically the chosen chain is the one that destroys the least amount of staker ETH.

So the chosen chain will never include proofs-of-staker-fraud (since these destroy staker ETH)?

It definitely will include fraud proofs. But I'm not up on it well enough to cite the exact rule.
