I wanted to win however and shine on this,so felt my friends could be a distraction and expect possibly to get away with things more.

So I chose the other 2.

I guess from that, I would always go for who was actually best able to deliver what was needed for the particular job/task in hand,so no,I would not have given my friend the job in the scenario of this thread.

Roofless!
