So my opponent is attacking me with a 2/1 Lifelink and a 2/2, both unblocked. I tap Hallowed Healer, preventing the next 2 damage to myself. Since both attackers deal damage simultaneously, which damage is prevented, the damage that will cause my opponent to gain life, or the other damage? If it's a player decision, like damage assignment order, who decides this?

Since all of the damage is dealt at once, you (being the player that would be dealt the damage) get to choose which of the damage is prevented. If you prevent the damage from the lifelinker, they will nto gain any life. 615.7. Some prevention effects generated by the resolution of a spell or ability refer to a specific amount of damage -- for example, "Prevent the next 3 damage that would be dealt to target creature or player this turn." These work like shields. Each 1 damage that would be dealt to the "shielded" creature or player is prevented. Preventing 1 damage reduces the remaining shield by 1. If damage would be dealt to the shielded creature or player by two or more applicable sources at the same time, the player or the controller of the creature chooses which damage the shield prevents. Once the shield has been reduced to 0, any remaining damage is dealt normally. Such effects count only the amount of damage; the number of events or sources dealing it doesn't matter.
