But if you have reason to believe that they don't experience diminishing marginal utility, or that their diminished derived utility would still be greater than the utility derived by an alternative person, then you should give it to the person who would derive greater utility (assuming you value them equally).

How do you think caring about having more allies than one affects this situation?

If that's a term in your utility function, then you should consider it. Here, I'm assuming there aren't any other effects.
