I have it set up just like in the official example ... but the user's choice is stored in the DB, and the next time they go to the page I want it to be pre-set to their previous choice. I can't seem to figure out how to do it in this case, since the :options is a computed property...
EDIT: I did not provide enough of my code... I updated it with more info... I did find the issue, it was two things (1) the data in prefs was not in the same format as the data in paginated, so it could not identify the initial value, and (2) I was not using v-model but rather @input because I need to send the choice to the database. By setting up v-model to a dummy data variable and filling that variable with the data from prefs in the same format as the options list, then it worked. I will post my answer also.
HTML
<v-select
:options="paginated"
:filterable="false"
@input="setValue"
@open="onOpen"
@close="onClose"
@search="(query) => (search = query)"
></v-select>
JS
...
props: ['prefs'],
...
data: function() {
...
countries: []
...
computed: {
filtered() {
return countries.filter((country) => country.includes(this.search))
},
paginated() {
return this.filtered.slice(0, this.limit)
},
hasNextPage() {
return this.paginated.length < this.filtered.length
},
},
...
methods: {
setValue: function(v) {
this.prefs = v.id;
(... ajax call to update database ...)
}
...
created: {
(... ajax call to populate this.countries from database ...)
}

Please look at the attached pen, Here I'm setting a default value to v-select with v-model, I see your prefs is a prop, if you are passing default value to prefs then it should set in v-select. If you are sending some default value in prop then please update your question it will be more clear than.
My issue was twofold:
v-model but rather @input because I wanted to send the choice to the DB in an AJAX call, so there was nothing for the initial value to hook onto.prefs was not in the same format as the data in paginated (string vs. object) so it could not locate the initial selection in the options list.Here I post the fixed code:
HTML
<v-select
:options="paginated"
:filterable="false"
v-model="dummy"
@input="setValue"
@open="onOpen"
@close="onClose"
@search="(query) => (search = query)"
></v-select>
JS
...
props: ['prefs'],
...
data: function() {
...
countries: [],
dummy: {}
...
computed: {
filtered() {
return countries.filter((country) => country.includes(this.search))
},
paginated() {
return this.filtered.slice(0, this.limit)
},
hasNextPage() {
return this.paginated.length < this.filtered.length
},
},
...
methods: {
setValue: function(v) {
this.prefs = v.id;
(... ajax call to update database ...)
}
...
created: {
let me = this;
(... ajax call to populate this.countries from database ...)
.then(function(resp) {
me.countries = resp.data;
me.dummy = me.countries.find(c => c.id == me.prefs);
})
}
