If two default values are different. Which one will be overridden?

If I understand your question correctly, I think you are asking if both are set:
CONFIG_IOMMU_DEFAULT_LAZY=y
CONFIG_IOMMU_DEFAULT_STRICT=y

If this happens, then make defconfig complains about both being set, and selects the 2nd, whatever that is.

On x86, Intel or AMD, this will be

    prompt "IOMMU default DMA mode"
      depends on IOMMU_DMA
      default IOMMU_DEFAULT_LAZY
      default IOMMU_DEFAULT_STRICT

which will be default, LAZY or STRICT? Will it cause complains?

See Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.rst:

A config option can have any number of default values. If multiple
default values are visible, only the first defined one is active.
