Apologies in advance for not adding anything to the discussion, but I believe you mean "I would much rather", because "I'd much rather" != "I had much rather".

  It can mean I had, I would, or I should, depending on context: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/i'd http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/i'd

    Wow, that's crazy and ambiguous. I've never heard of "I'd" as a contraction for "I should", how do you tell whether to expand it as that or "I would"?

      Context.

      I think it's archaic, "I should think so"

  "[H]ad much rather" is a bit archaic, but perfectly cromulent: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22had+much+rather%22 http://www.google.com/search?q=%22had+much+rather%22 .
