Assuming the XML is as you've shown it and not some slightly different arrangement:

Code:
$ awk -v FS="\"" '{
        # Remember the order tokens come in
        if(!L[$2]) { C[N++]=$2; L[$2]=1; }
        # Save the longest
        if(length($3) > length(A[$2])) { A[$2]=$3; B[$2]=$0 }
}

END { for(M=0; M<N; M++) print B[C[M]] }' < data
<string name="string1">RZ-LED</string>
<string name="string2">Version 2.0</string>
<string name="string3">BP</string>
