Actually, your genes want both, since if you know you are the father then your genes can help direct you to giving more resources to your offspring rather than others. Indeed, there are plausible payoff matrices one can construct where one would rather have fewer offspring but be more certain which offspring are yours.
Correction accepted, but it doesn't apply in the "fierce egalitarianism" scenario that Wei Dai mentioned.
Yeah, I agree. If one assumes near complete equidistribution of resources then it won't apply.
