I would suggest "utilitarian", but it seems to me that people here use this to mean something else. Does anyone care to explain the distinction?
Utilitarianism is an ethical theory, put forth by John Stuart Mill. It's distinct from confusingly similar technical terms like expected utility, and is definitely not a unanimous ethical position around here.
