In this sense, 'over' indicates preference. "I prefer these chairs over those." To me, it sounds more colloquial to say 'over'. I would just construct the phrase as "I prefer these chairs to those."

'instead of' is more of an equivalent exchange. "Buy those Oranges instead of those mangoes."

I think that it can be highly subjective, though, but that's the difference to me.
